The health authority announced it’s offering a booster shot at more than 100 vaccination centres across the emirate.
Most importantly people must go to the same healthcare entities from where they received their earlier doses.
The date of the second dose would have to be at least six months ago. The booster shot will enhance immunity and antibody response.
Earlier this week, Dr Farida Al Hosani, Official Spokesperson, the UAE Health Sector, said priority to receive the additional shot would be given to senior citizens and people with chronic diseases.
