Kampala — After long weeks of waiting, the yellow fever vaccine finally arrived in the country with five districts; Abim, Agago, Pader, Kitgum and Lamwo set to first receive the drug.
One million doses arrived on Wednesday and if all goes as planned, vaccination is to start on Janury 22 targeting all people above six months. The received amount of drugs is, however, less than the 2.5 million doses that the ministry had earlier said it needed to carry out a mass vaccination in 26 districts in northern Uganda.
