They also noted the vaccine’s efficiency in protecting people and reducing viral transmission.
Major General Al Nuaimi pointed out that national health authorities aim to increase the rate of vaccinated people to 90 percent of targeted categories, affirming that the UAE is currently ranked second globally in terms of the number of those vaccinated for every 100 persons. Therefore, maximised local efforts are required to support the national campaign to combat the spread of COVID-19, he further added.
