“Attention of the Ministry of Health been drawn to manipulated videos on the COVID-19 Vaccination launch event that took place yesterday, 10th March, 2021.
It is very unfortunate that some unscrupulous individuals have embarked on creating Deep Fake videos and circulating them online with an intention of discrediting the COVID-19 Vaccination exercise in the country.
The Minister of Health, Dr Jane Ruth Aceng Ocero was the first Ugandan to take COVID-19 Vaccine jab in broad day light. She is currently in good health.
A total of 310 persons received their COVID-19 Vaccination jabs at the launch event, with Mulago recording 280 and 30 at Entebbe Regional Referral Hospital.
This is to kindly request you to disregard the manipulated videos with a logo of one of the media houses that are making rounds online.
The Ministry of Health social media pages i.e twitter and YouTube have the videos that are a true reflection of the National Vaccination launch that happened at Mulago Specialized Women and Neonatal Hospital and Entebbe Regional Referral Hospital.” read Ministry of health statement.
