The UAE has vaccinated close to 82 per cent of eligible categories of residents against Covid-19, a top official has announced.

Additionally, over 92 per cent of the elderly residents have been vaccinated.

A UAE study has found a "strong correlation" between vitamin D deficiency and the severity of Covid-19 infections.

The Department of Health, Abu Dhabi, is now encouraging the community to boost their vitamin D levels.

A top official in Dubai has also said that smokers are more likely to get infected with Covid-19.

Those with the habit are among the categories that must take the Covid-19 vaccine “as soon as possible”.
