“When we first opened in December, we were seeing about a 1,000 people come in. But the uptake has grown tremendously over the last three weeks. In response, we’ve increased our operating hours. People are enthusiastic and willing to get the vaccine. And as we are continuing to emphasise, the vaccine is safer than the disease,” Dr Al Marzouqi said.

“As we see more and more people coming in, we are prioritising certain groups of people. The elderly, people of determination and people with chronic conditions can come in without an appointment, and are given priority status at the centre,” she added.
