Kampala. A total of 310 persons received their COVID-19 vaccination jabs at the launch event, with Mulago recording 280 and 30 at Entebbe Regional Referral Hospital.
The Minister of Health, Dr Jane Ruth Aceng Ocero was the first Ugandan to take COVID-19 Vaccine jab in broad day light and she is currently in good health, the health spokesperson Emmanuel Ainebyonna said in a statement on Thursday.
He said that their attention had been drawn to manipulated videos on the COVID-19 vaccination launch 10th March, 2021.
“It is very unfortunate that some unscrupulous individuals have embarked on creating deep fake videos and circulating them online with an intention of discrediting the COVID-19 vaccination exercise in the country,” Ainebyona said.
He added “This is to kindly request you to disregard the manipulated videos with a logo of one of the media houses that are making rounds online.”
