At least 800 people have been vaccinated with a fake coronavirus vaccine in the East African country of Uganda. This had been administered between mid-May and mid-June, mainly in private hospitals in the capital Kampala, an official of the presidential office said today, according to dpa. There have already been two arrests, and one medical practitioner is wanted by police, Warren Namara said.
In Uganda, as in 13 other African countries, the delta variant of the coronavirus is currently spreading rapidly. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there have been more than 79,000 cases of infection, and 956 people have died after being infected.
As in other African countries, vaccine is in short supply in Uganda, which has a population of about 44.2 million. This week, second vaccinations could be administered to health care workers for the first time.
