As far as making the vaccine available to civilians in the country, the UAE ranks number fifth in the world after the United States, China, the United Kingdom and Israel.

NCEMA tweeted a statement made by Dr. Saif Al Dhaheri, who said, “The UAE ranked first worldwide in terms of daily doses over the past seven days at a rate of 1.16 doses per 100 people, and fifth in terms of the availability of Covid-19 vaccines.”

Till Tuesday, the UAE healthcare centres have administered over 2.06 million doses of the covid-19 vaccine of the two vaccines available in the country--Sinopharma and Pfizer. The efforts and initiative of the healthcare officials were marked by Al Dhaheri who in his weekly briefing for Covid-19 said the country’s vaccination campaign is one of the most important national initiatives.

“We call on all community members to receive the vaccine at the nearest health centre ... in order to reach the required targets in the fastest time. Our best way to recover is to take the vaccine,” said Al Dhaheri.
