With AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine’s inclusion in the list of jabs offered by the Dubai Health Authority (DHA), there are now three vaccines that the emirate is offering.
This includes Pfizer-BioNTech and Sinopharm vaccines.
DHA releases guidelines and other information about it.
Dr. Farida Al Khaja, CEO of DHA’s Clinical Support Services and Nursing Sector and Chairperson of the Covid-19 Vaccination Steering Committee, said this will be made available at the One Central Vaccination Center.
According to the DHA, all Emiratis aged between 18 and 60 years can get it. People with disability and those with chronic diseases between ages of 18 and 60 can also get vaccinated, provided they have a valid Dubai visa.
Individuals need to book an appointment through the DHA Contact Center on 800 342.
The vaccine is also available for frontline personnel and vital sector workers from both the public and private sectors at the vaccination field center, Dr. Farida added.
Their appointments will be scheduled, in coordination with the government departments and institutions they work for.
