Dr Farida Al Khaja, CEO of DHA’s Clinical Support Services and Nursing Sector and Chairperson of the Covid-19 Vaccination Steering Committee, said that at this stage, the vaccine is prioritised for the elderly, those with chronic diseases, people of determination and those on the frontlines.
Only those with residency visas issued in Dubai will get the jab.
