Grace Ediegu Etelu commonly known as Atorob Kwap from the State House Health Monitoring Unit today warned a team of medics in charge of the covid 19 vaccination in Soroti regional referral hospital against neglecting the patients.
Ediegu who had a brief meeting with the team of health workers told media that she got a call from the community early this week that the staff in charge of Covid19 vaccination at Soroti referral hospital were not mindful of the clients as they would come and wait for long hours a concern that touched her heart thus making her travel to Soroti.
"I have met them and told them to pull up their socks if they want peace with atorob kwap because if they don't do it, I will match them to police as today I have come baptizing them with water but next time I come, I will come baptizing them with fire and I won't hesitate to match them to police." she said
She also explained that the turn up was overwhelming the first time the vaccine was brought to the hospital but because of the attitude of the nurses, the number of the clients also reduced.
Ediegu also advised the community to stop paying attention to the rumors being spread on social media that the vaccine is bad as it is false propaganda that the government is up to killing its people with the vaccination explaining that government wants good health for its citizens.
She further called upon the community to go for the covid 19 vaccination that will help prevent further severe complications while giving an example of the USA where citizens are not on face masks as the majority of the population got vaccinated.
Soroti has got two vaccines, AstraZeneca that was targeting the elderly and those with different complications, and Sinovac targeting people of 18 years and above.
