Saudi Arabia plans to offer the vaccine free to all residents in the kingdom. The country, which has reported about 360,000 cases and 6,080 deaths, began lifting coronavirus lockdowns from May. Saudi Arabia earlier this week asked citizens and residents to sign up for its vaccination program. The first phase will include people most exposed to the disease, while the second and third stages will target those over 50 before the vaccine is made available to the wider public.
