In efforts to curb the spread of the virus, a second lockdown has been enforced with tight restrictions halting various businesses and people&#8217;s movement with special permission for essential workers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Desperate times calling for desperate measures indeed, vaccines have been developed to try and reduce the spread of the virus. Various countries have embarked on wide vaccination drives to see that majority of the population is vaccinated in the shortest time possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read also: <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/techrafiki.com\/beat-covid-19-lockdown-with-technology\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/techrafiki.com\/beat-covid-19-lockdown-with-technology\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">COVID-19 lockdown: How to beat it effectively with technology<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vaccination in Uganda started shortly after the country received its first batch of doses on 5 March which targeted health workers, security personnel, the elderly and people with underlying health issues.

Despite the lockdown that has set tight restrictions on movement, people have been encouraged to get vaccinated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By 15 June, over 812,000 people including health workers, teachers, security personnel, airport staff, the elderly and people with diabetes, hypertension and other underlying conditions had been vaccinated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more: <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/techrafiki.com\/ugandans-covid-19-relief-mobile-money\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/techrafiki.com\/ugandans-covid-19-relief-mobile-money\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ugandans to receive covid-19 relief through mobile money<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more: <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/techrafiki.com\/makerere-university-unveils-its-latest-innovation\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/techrafiki.com\/makerere-university-unveils-its-latest-innovation\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Makerere University unveils latest invention, a covid-19 tracing app<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>READ: <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/techrafiki.com\/job-opportunities-from-next-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/techrafiki.com\/job-opportunities-from-next-media\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Check out these job opportunities from Next Media, UN Women, Qraft academy and more<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the second wave of the coronavirus rages on, public demand for the vaccines has risen equally.
