Abu Dhabi: Now that COVID-19 vaccines are available for all UAE residents, Abu Dhabi’s authorities have announced a list of more than 100 locations where residents can get their free shots.
The vaccine is being provided free of cost and residents must book an appointment before showing up.
If you are looking to get vaccinated, here is all that you need to know, as well as the list of locations announced by the Department of Health (DoH).
How many doses of the vaccine have to be taken?
Each resident receives two doses of the vaccine, 21 to 28 days apart.
How old do I have to be to receive the vaccine?
The vaccine is currently only being offered to residents aged 16 years and older.
Do I have to pay for the vaccine?
The vaccine is being offered free of charge at the designated facilities.
Which groups of people cannot take the vaccine?
The Abu Dhabi Department of Health lists six categories of people who cannot get the COVID-19 vaccine at present:

- nursing mothers
