The ongoing first phase of the rollout of the campaign will target Emirati and resident elders aged 60 years and above, people with chronic diseases and people of determination.
The Dubai Government Media Office shared six facilities of the Dubai Health Authority where residents can get their free COVID-19 vaccine. These include Zabeel Primary Health Care Centre, Al Mizhar Primary Health Care Centre, Nad Al Hamr Primary Health Care Centre, Barsha Primary Health Care Centre, Uptown Mirdif Medical Fitness Centre and Hatta Hospital.
Appointments are required. Dubai residents can register and book appointments for vaccination through the DHA app or the DHA’s toll-free number 800 342. Residents must also provide a Medical Record Number (MRN), and those who have yet to secure theirs should email [email protected] and provide them with a copy of Emirates ID (front and back) as well as their mobile number.
