Uganda, May 23 -- The Education ministry has insisted that no school-going children will be vaccinated against Covid-19 without the Ministry of Health obtaining a written consent from parents and guardians.
Dr Dennis Mugimba, the spokesperson of the Education ministry, told this publication last Friday that the ministry's position on the issue of vaccinating children is clear.
"It is not true that the Ministry of Health will vaccinate children in schools against Covid-19 without parents' or guardians' consent. All must be done as per guidance given by Education and Sports Minister, Ms Janet Museveni," Dr Mugimba said.
