\u201cSsabasajja Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II and the Nnabagereka Sylvia Nagginda Luswata were vaccinated against COVID-19 at the Lubiri in Kireka today,\u201d senior lawyer, David F.K. Mpanga, who doubles as the Minister for Special Assignments in the Kabaka\u2019s office tweeted on Friday. The vaccination also came hours after the Ministry of Health on Thursday reported 26 new cases as the number of Ugandans infected with the virus rose to 41,263. The ministry also said they had vaccinated a total of 206,708 persons against the virus that has so far killed 338 Ugandans since March last year when the outbreak was confirmed in the country.<\/p>\n
