The Kenyan government plans to introduce a directive next month to prevent citizens who haven't been vaccinated against Covid from receiving government services.

Health Minister Mutahi Kagwe said unvaccinated people would be banned from public transport, local airlines and train services.

Kenyans will also require proof of vaccination in order to visit government institutions for education, immigration, tax and other services.
