JUBA – South Sudan has postponed the plan to launch its COVID-19 vaccination campaign this morning at J-1 until further notice.

There was no clear reason given as to why the COVID-19 vaccination which was supposed to start at the presidency today, was postponed.

But Georg Azania, Manager of the Extended Programs on Immunization at the Ministry of Health told Sudans Post that the event was postponed due to internal arrangements within the presidency.

 “I don’t have the concrete reason but I just received information from authorities there (at J-1) that this event was postponed until further notice due to some things there. We will not tell you the reason actually,” Azania told Sudans Post this afternoon.

He said they will fix another date for the vaccination campaign within due cost of the week.

“We have not decided for another date but we will decide it within this week,” he said.

However, Ateny Wek Ateny, Press Secretary at the Office of the President said that he is not being told why the event was postponed.

“I don’t know, I am not in Juba and I am not being told about why it was postponed,” said Wek.

On Sunday, South Sudan Ministry officials announced the plans to launch its COVID-19 vaccination campaign at J-1 this morning, after receiving its first shipment of AstraZeneca vaccine last week from the global COVAX.

The Health officials said that they will give priority to the elderly and health care workers.

The vaccination will be carried out in three government vaccinations sites of Juba Teaching Hospital, Buluk Police Hospital and Juba Military Hospital.

The Ministry trained over 60 vaccinators that will conduct vaccination in phases.

    “South Sudan postpones COVID-19 vaccination ‘until further notice”

    Let any South Sudanese foosl use that ‘fake so-called *AstraZeneca vaccine* any gets away with it again. And that South Sudanese would be as good as dead*Astra-Zeneca* is not a vaccine. Astra-ology (is a not a science). We have *vaccine for corona-virus* here in South Sudan.

    But we don’t have *HIV and Aids & Ebola virus vaccines* Our lowly informed fools, Democratic republic of Congo (D.R.C), Uganda, Kenya, South Africa, Abesh (so-called ethiopians prostitutes, were infected with *HIV by our enemies right up to Washington, USA and other countries.*The Dinkas/Muounyjeinges/Jaangs/Jiengs* have never been infected with HIV and AIDs.

    We know all these cheap and intrigues South Sudanese fools. There are a few South Sudanese who got ‘HIV and AIDs’ But HIV and AIDs was kept away by South Sudanese with brains—–our mighty SPLM/A boys/girls. HIV and AIDs is negligible here South Sudan.

    Watch out lowly informed fools. You are going to be *wiped out of this planet earth, once and for all, reasons, pure HATRED and RACISM.
