The UAE’s voluntary COVID-19 inoculation programme is being rolled out at top speed. The programme, which started its roll out in Abu Dhabi, has now been extended across Dubai and the Northern Emirates. Residents are now able to register for a free vaccination if they so wish.
Currently, the widely offered vaccine is the Chinese Sinopharm injection which, according to UAE regulators has a 86 per cent efficacy rate. It requires two doses administered 21 days apart. The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccination is presently only being offered to certain categories of the UAE population. This includes Emiratis and residents aged 60 and above, people with chronic diseases, people of determination, frontline workers, vital sector workers and members of the public who volunteer to get vaccinated.
If you’d like to get vaccinated, here are the hospitals and clinics administering the vaccine throughout the UAE.
