The UAE has administered 12,174 doses of the Covid-19 vaccine in the past 24 hours.
The country's Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP) said the total doses administered now stand at 24.4 million.
This takes the rate of doses to 246.94 doses per 100 people.
India is considering making all adults eligible for booster doses of Covid-19 vaccine, two sources with knowledge of the matter said on Monday, as infections grow in some countries and some Indians find it hard to travel abroad without a third dose.
Only frontline workers and those older than 60 are now allowed to take booster doses in India, whether free in government centres or paid for in private hospitals.
The government is debating whether to provide boosters to other groups for free, said one of the sources, who both sought anonymity as the government has yet to make a decision.
A health ministry spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Lawmakers in parliament have called for boosters to be authorised soon for all adults.
China's financial hub of Shanghai reported on Monday a record daily surge in local Covid-19 infections as authorities scrambled to test residents and rein in the Omicron variant, while the Disney resort closed until further notice.
Shanghai reported 24 new domestically transmitted Covid cases with confirmed symptoms for Sunday and another 734 local asymptomatic infections, official data showed on Monday.
It is the fourth consecutive day of increase in Shanghai's local asymptomatic infections. Although its tally of infections is tiny by global standards, Shanghai has quickly followed China's policy of "dynamic clearance", shutting schools and testing residential compounds in the effort to limit the spread of the virus.
