Yesterday, Uganda launched country wide vaccination of Covid-19 with the health minister Dr. Ruth Jane Aceng officially becoming the first Ugandan to receive the AstraZeneca covid19 vaccine that arrived in the country late last week.
Since then, there has a speculation that Dr. Aceng wasn’t actually vaccinated as seen in some videos circulating on different media platforms.
However, she has come out herself to trash these rumors, calling it fake news, posting a video clearly showing that she received the vaccine captioning it;
“For those deliberately trying to convince the public that I was not vaccinated against COVID-19 yesterday, take a look at the video below.
I was vaccinated using the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine during the #COVIDVaccinationUG launch.
Please stop spreading fake news! ” She tweeted.
