Woman Seeks Shs5b Compensation For Son Who Died After Covid-19 Vaccination

Posted by: Kyeyune Andrew Jonathan in Uganda news August 31, 2022

Tendo Nalwadda is a mother of a 14-year-old boy who died from organ failure right after getting his Covid vaccination. She has now dragged the government and private school to Mpigi High Court demanding compensation.

She accused the government and St. Martin Secondary School of vaccinating her son without their approval.

Nalwadda alleged that the school administration allowed the Ministry of health staff from Mpigi district health center IV to vaccinate her son without her consent.

According to Nalwadda, the complications developed on February 8 after her son’s first dose of the Pfizer vaccine. She then said her son went on to die in July due to multiple organ failure.

Nalwadda seeks special damages for negligence, unauthorized COVID vaccination of a minor, loss of life, loss of dependency, care, pain, and suffering.

The court document states that “the officials of the first respondent (AG) refused to provide us with the postmortem report upon request, but rather the pathologist gave us a note authorizing the removal of the body from the mortuary.”

She now seeks compensation for Shs20 million in general damages, medical bills, and burial expenses. She also wants another Shs5 billion.

The court has directed the accused parties (Attorney General and private school) to file their responses within 15 days.
