Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni on Saturday received his first COVID19 Vaccination jab, silencing skeptics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Museveni took the the first of two doses together with the First Lady Janet Museveni, at State House Nakasero in Uganda’s capital, Kampala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The development rounds off a successful week of vaccinations that also saw lawmakers both, outgoing and newly elected get vaccinated against the deadly disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wish to congratulate H.E the President @KagutaMuseveni<\/a> and the First Lady, Maama @JanetMuseveni<\/a> who have just been vaccinated against COVID-19 with the AstraZeneca vaccine. I urge the population to embrace this vaccine as it is safe and effective,” Health Minister, Dr Jane Ruth Aceng said after the excercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clad in military fatigue, Museveni was injected on the left upper arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The news dispells rumors and previous reports that he and his inner circle had been vaccinated long before the doses arrived in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
