The National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA) has given a one-month-grace period until the end of September to all students to get vaccination.

Though, this rule does not affect students in Dubai schools, parents must ensure that their children are vaccinated before they send them to schools to guard them against COVID-19 pandemic.
