The Minister for Health Dr. Jane Ruth Aceng is expected to visit the National Medical Stores this afternoon to monitor the third batch of 175200 doses of AstraZeneca that arrived last night.
The vaccines from the COVAX Facility, are a donation from the Embassy of France in Uganda expected to help in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.
The batch arrived at Entebbe International Airport aboard the KLM flight slightly past 10:00pm and was received by the National Medical Stores (NMS) and Ministry of Health officials led by the NMS General Manager Moses Kamabare.
Kamabare says that the distribution of these doses will be done immediately after the recommendation by the Minister for Health.
