Uganda's Health Minister Jane Aceng has denied reports that top government officials have been vaccinated against Covid-19 before the country formally receives vaccines. Aceng was reacting to a report by the local newspaper Daily Monitor and American newspaper Wall Street Journal. In a tweet, the ministry said neither the president nor his close associates had been vaccinated as alleged. "I want to categorically state that neither President Museveni nor his inner circle has been vaccinated against Covid-19," the minister said.
