Uganda, a country of more than 44 million people, has recorded more than 1,20,000 cases of COVID-19, including just over 3,000 deaths, according to official figures
At a taxi stand by a bustling market in Kampala, Uganda's capital, traders simply cross a road or two, get a shot in the arm and rush back to their work. Until this week, vaccination centers were based mostly in hospitals in this East African country that faced a brutal surge earlier this year. Now, more than a dozen tented sites have been set up in busy areas to make it easier to get inoculated in Kampala as health authorities team up with the Red Cross to administer more than 1,20,000 doses that will expire at the end of September.More Related News
