    UAE kicked off its vaccination for all campaign last month and it aims to inoculate at least 50 per cent of the people in the country by the first quarter of the year. This implies a full-steam-ahead approach to ensure the safety of its residents. Above: People at Sheikh Khalifa Hall Vaccination Centre in Ajman queue up for a jab on January 12.

    There are of course some criteria a person needs to meet to be in the priority queue. If you are more susceptible to infection due to high blood pressure or diabetes, you are automatically bumped up the line. | Above: Residents get their blood pressure checked before taking the COVID-19 vaccine at Indian Association Ajman on January 13.
