Covid19 Vaccine Not 100% Protection.- Minister

Covid19 Vaccine Not 100% Protection.- Minister
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

 

The health minister Dr. Jane Ruth Aceng reveals that taking shots of the covid19 vaccine does not give guarantee that a person is 100% protected from catching the virus again.

According to Dr. Aceng, the vaccine only keeps a person away from the acute condition in case they contracted the virus again.

With the country expecting the first batch of the AstraZeneca vaccine totaling to 400 doses on 5th march 2021, government is confident that by mid-march this year, 400,000 doses will have arrived in the country to vaccinate frontline workers among them, Health workers, security personnel, teachers and later other groups in a staggering manner.

She further notes that vaccination will only take place in public health facilities to avoid misuse and imposing costs on citizens.

The vaccination being voluntary, citizens to take shots will have to sign consent forms before taking their shots as this will help provide follow up and make it easy for the government and the manufacturer to trace the victims in the process of gathering data since its being studied.

According to the WHO country representative in Uganda Tedros signing a consent form by the person taking the shot is not only in Uganda but in all countries where the vaccine is going to be used and its upon this point that he urges Ugandan to feel free to vaccinate against the pandemic.

With 45 million doses needed to vaccinate the targeted population, around 21.9 million (49.6%) of the population are to be vaccinated in a phased manner targeting people aged 18 and above. And this includes pregnant women, people with underlying health illnesses, the elderly among others.

The minister further notes that though Uganda is to receive vaccine donations from Covax (3.5m) from China (300,000) among other donors the already set budget totaling to over UGX.582 billion is likely to shoot due to unforeseen matters.

With vaccination starting 10th March 2021 in public health facilities, few of the selected frontline workers will receive the first shot and later receive the second after eight to twelve weeks.

After unveiling rocket mouthed journalist Bbwaddene Basajjamivule, the ruling National Resistance Movement party could yet again add to the number of it’s ever growing recruits from the Kamwokya based National Unity Paltform (NUP) opposition party. Unconfirmed reports coming in reveal that President Museveni chief fisherman Balaam Barugahara could yet again be on the verge of landing a very big fish for his master in the name of none other than the popular NUP singer Hillary Kiyaga aka Hilderman. The Mazongoto singer was set to challenge Trade Minister Amelia Kyambadde for the Mawokota MP seat before he reportedly chickened out in favor of a mega deal dangled before him by the cunning Museveni fixer Balaam. Hill Water It has been reported that the powerful Minister had over the last few months courted the events promoter Balaam in a bid to convince him plead with Hilderman to drop his parliamentary bid in exchange for some juicy offer from the ruling side. After a long period of playing hard to get, we have established that Hilderman, one of the few musicians that have stayed by Bobi Wine’s side through thin and thick has finally succumbed to Balaam’s trickery, giving up on his strong ally in the process. It’s also reported that Mr Kiyaga was set to meet the President in the past couple of days but the busy political schedule with the CEC and this week’s NRM primaries have continuously led to the deferral of the program. We have since learnt that a meeting between Hilderman and the President is on schedule before a mega announcement that would most certainly leave the NUP boss – Bobi Wine nursing a broken spine.
