The vaccines will expire by May, according to NMS.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Kyabayinze revealed that of the 36 million doses of vaccines the government has cumulatively acquired through donations and direct procurement, 25.3 million doses have been distributed to districts and not all have been utilised.<\/p>\n<p><b>READ:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Improve access to Covid vaccines around Kampala<\/p>\n<p>He said they have, however, developed many approaches such as the accelerated Covid-19 vaccination campaign in regions across the country to increase access to the vaccines for fast utilisation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUganda has enough vaccines to inoculate all the interested people. For those who are not interested, time will make them interested. I call upon people to get interested when we still have goodwill to look for them where they are,\u201d Dr Kyabayinze, who is the national Covid-19 vaccination coordinator, said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that government is expecting to acquire additional seven million doses of vaccines.<\/p>\n<p><b>READ:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Covid-19: Govt rolls out door-to-door vaccination campaign<\/p>\n<p>The vaccination coordinator said so far 6.4 million are fully vaccinated, while 12.7 million Ugandans are partially vaccinated \u2013meaning their immunity against Covid-19 is less effective. Eleven thousand people have also received their second dose.<\/p>\n<p>Statistics from the Health ministry indicate that there was a 23 percent decline in Covid-19 vaccination rate in the last 40 days.<\/p>\n<p>From January 1 to February 9, a total of 3,995,400 doses of vaccines were administered which is less than the 5,198,436 doses administered in the previous 40 days which stretched from November 22 to December 31.<\/p>\n<p>But from January 28 when the Ministry resumed accelerated [mass] vaccination campaign in regions, until February 9, they reported the administering of 2,772,726 vaccines. This means up to 69 percent of all the doses administered in the 40 days (January 1 to February 9) happened in the last 13 days.<\/p>\n<p><b>ALSO:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Have Ugandans learnt to live with Covid-19?<\/p>\n<p>Dr Immaculate Ampaire, the deputy manager of the Uganda National Expanded Programme on Immunisation (UNEPI), said there was a slight interruption of Covid-19 vaccination in January to allow for immunisation against polio.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn January, the ministry opened up for polio immunisation and it is [was] completed. But Covid-19 vaccination was not interrupted at health facilities,\u201d she said. This position was also reinforced by Dr Kyabayinze who said there was \u201cno significant\u201d Covid-19 vaccination in January of polio intervention.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Charles Olaro, the director of clinical services at the ministry, when asked to comment about the rate of Covid-19 vaccination in the country, said: \u201cWe are moving on but not at the rate we expected.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy now we should have really gone over these numbers but the numbers are coming in slowly. The Covid-19 cases have gone down and we don\u2019t know what may happen, maybe we can have another wave. Let people get vaccinated,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><b>READ:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Get vaccinated, or get punished? How jab mandates divide<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the likely effect of the declining rates of Covid-19 infections on vaccine uptake, Dr Olaro, said: \u201cThey [people] shouldn\u2019t only hurry to get vaccinated when they see many people are dying or numbers are up. We should just get ourselves protected.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are working with other civil society organisations, rotary family day\u2026we have campaigns on radio calling upon people to go for Covid-19 vaccination,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The Ministry says the vaccines are effective in preventing severe Covid-19 disease and death. Since the outbreak of the pandemic in the country in 2020, a total of 3,574 people have succumbed to the virus of the 162,755 people who have been infected.<\/p>\n<p><b>Will compulsory vaccination increase uptake?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The dissatisfaction of the Ministry on Covid-19 vaccination rate is coming at a time when the government has proposed tough new laws that make it compulsory for Ugandans to get vaccinated or be fined Shs4 million or be jailed for six months for refusal to comply.<\/p>\n<p><b>READ:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Vaccines: Two centuries of scepticism<\/p>\n<p>The proposal, which is contained in the Public Health (Amendment) Bill, 2021, tabled before Parliament a few weeks ago, is subject to changes as it faces scrutiny by Parliament.<\/p>\n<p>But Dr Simon Kibira, a lecturer in the Department of Community Health and behavioural Sciences at the Makerere University school of Public Health, said making vaccination compulsory is not a sustainable public health strategy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn health behaviours, threats are the last resort because they rarely work. They can only work for a short time. First of all, enforcement is very hard. There are only a few places where you can enforce such as offices, but it is hard to enforce among people who are in the informal sector,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think threats are going to work. I think we should work on behavioural change by continuing with sensitisation. You see even during the lockdown, they asked boda bodas to stop working but did they stop? Also you have people who are forging vaccination certificates and we don\u2019t have adequate technologies to verify the documents,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><b>READ:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Covidex, Covilyce and NDA; what\u2019s missing?<\/p>\n<p>Dr Kibira\u2019s views are almost the same as of Dr Mukuzi Muhereza, a clinician in western Uganda, who was the former general secretary of the Uganda Medical Association. Dr Mukuzi said although there are many talks by the Ministry of Health about increased access, some communities are still having challenges accessing vaccination centres, due to bad roads and long distance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn a population, you will get people who understand and those who don\u2019t understand. We can only fight this with information and truthfulness and telling people that there are things we don\u2019t yet know about the vaccines,\u201d he said, adding: \u201cWe know that the vaccines work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Top 10 in Africa<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Percentage of population covered by Covid vaccination in Africa on February 15 per Africa CDC.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>1.Seychelles \u2013 155.66%<\/p>\n<p>2.Mauritius -144,03%<\/p>\n<p>3.Comoros -114.8<\/p>\n<p>4.Sao Tome \u2013 102.91%<\/p>\n<p>5.
