the Minister of Health Ruth Aceng has urged the public not to mix COVID-19 vaccines.
“Do not mix COVID-19 vaccines. When you get vaccinated with one type of vaccine, ensure you complete your dose with the same type of vaccine,” Aceng said in a tweet on Saturday.
Uganda is scaling up vaccination of the priority population totaling about 5.5 million before fully opening up the economy in January next year.



The priority population includes teachers, security personnel, the elderly, persons with comorbidity, health workers and bar workers.
Institutions of higher learning are scheduled to reopen on Nov. 1 and students are required to show their vaccination cards before being allowed in school.

Figures provided by the Ministry of Health show that as of Thursday, over 3 million COVID-19 vaccine doses had been administered since the vaccination started in March this year.
