The same document also provided information that the first shipment of the Moderna vaccine will be delivered by December 22. However, these vaccines are to be distributed across the United States before they are shipped overseas.
The mentioned distribution dates are contingent upon a decision by the US Food and Drug Administration to authorize each vaccine for emergency use. Pfizer submitted an application to the FDA on November 20 and Moderna submitted it on November 30.
A panel of independent experts and the FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products committee will meet on 10th December to review Pfizer’s data. Thereafter, they will make a recommendation to the FDA about whether to authorize the vaccine.
There will be a four-day window between December 11 and 14 for review by the FDA and CDC’S committee on immunization practices. This will also make recommendations about who will receive the vaccine first.
The document portrayed a vaccine manufacturing forecast estimating 22.5 million doses of Pfizer vaccine. It also indicated that 18 million doses of the Moderna vaccine will be produced, both happening in December.
A list of ‘’essential tasks’’ was included for governors to complete by December 4. The tasks include pre-ordering Pfizer vaccines, enrolling providers in the Covid-19 vaccine program, and completing micro plans for distribution and administration.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
