Minister for Health and Minister for International Development and Diaspora announce donation of over 335000 COVID-19 vaccine doses to Uganda – Gov.ie

Posted By on October 2, 2021

"I am pleased that Ireland, through this donation of vaccines, is able to show solidarity with the people of Uganda, to help protect them from COVID-19. Its only by acting together as a global community that we can each be safe from this awful virus. Reducing the impact of the pandemic will help protect hard won gains in the fight against poverty and inequality, gains in which Irish Aid has been proud to help achieve. That is why, in addition to the donation today, Ireland has also committed to share another 1 million vaccine doses in the coming months, with more next year. These donations will be through the global COVAX facility, so that they reach those who need them most. In addition and through the Irish Aid budget, I have committed 7million to COVAX this year, which will also help accelerate vaccination efforts in low and middle income countries."
