The Ministry of Health is investigating two companies over supply of fake Hepatitis B vaccines to a couple of health units.
The Ministry says the vaccines could be genuine but supplied with fake labels.
National Drug Authority (NDA), which is investigating alongside the health ministry, the products were found in eight hospitals and clinics across the capital Kampala, and the towns of Mbale, Entebbe and Mbarara.
At least one of the clinics identified has denied using the “fake vaccines”.
Local press reports that the Anti-Counterfeit Network (ACN) Africa “has tasked government to explain the source of the fake Hepatitis B vaccines and how they were imported into the country”.
