Earlier this week, Uganda hit the 2 million mark of vaccinations and Dr. Atwine hinted at the possibility of lifting the national lockdown.

“Covid 19 isn’t going to go away soon. The best thing to do now is to embrace vaccination,” said Atwine.

However, in his last address, President Yoweri Museveni said that the entire economy will be opened up after vaccinating 4.8 million people. Mass vaccination campaigns have been conducted in the past weeks and in many areas, the turn up has been positive.
