Government   is to include yellow fever vaccination into the national routine immunization schedule after experiencing two yellow fever outbreaks in the country.

minister of state for primary health, Joyce Kaducu Moriku.

The minister of state for primary health, Joyce Kaducu Moriku while delivering a statement on yellow fever before Parliament on Wednesday said that government hopes to begin this routine immunization in 2018 at zero charges and only a nominal fee for the certificate from the world health organization will be charged.
Kaducu also says that government has identified 15 clinics where this exercise will be carried at KCCA, Entebbe, Kabale, Tororo and Busia.

The statement by the minister however did not appease many legislators with some of them demanding why the ministry had decided to limit the numbers of clinics to carry out the immunisation citing that they would have included referral and district hospitals.

The Woman MP for Gulu district Betty Ochen says that Vaccination Center should be established across the entire country for easy access of the services.
