some of the country's vaccines have come from covax, the u.n.ked sharing initiative whose supply has fallen far short of its goals. the government's plans to purchase directly from india fell through after that country stopped exporting vaccines amid its own devastating surge. so, vaccination sites sit empty, hastily brought into service whenever doses arrive, many of them donations from western countries and china, consignments varying by brand, many from surpluses nearing their expiration date. dr. aceng: we appreciate the dose-sharing. we do appreciate. but it doesn't begin even to address the needs. fred: dr. jane ruth aceng is uganda's minister of health. dr. aceng: other countries are thinking about a third dose, a booster dose. and we are just beginning to say, how do we get teachers vaccinated? should the african continent that has been so marginalized in vaccine distribution sit back and say, let us close our economies and wait for vaccines to come in? fred: in april 2020, with many countries experiencing infection surges, uganda implem
