COVID-19: Senior citizens vaccination campaign continues its success all over the UAE

Dubai: The Ministry of Community Development (MoCD), in cooperation with the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP), continued to carry out the vaccination campaign for senior citizens, which was launched last month against COVID-19 all over the UAE.

Till today, the campaign included Ajman, Dubai, Al Fujairah, Umm Al Quwain and Ras Al Khaimah. The vaccination campaign of senior citizens in Ras Al Khaimah was done by a team from the two ministries at the homes of male and female senior citizens in several areas such as: Dahan, Julphar, Al Rams and Shaam areas in Ras Al Khaimah.

The senior citizens vaccination campaign was launched on January 10 and achieved strong response. As part of its ongoing efforts, the campaign continues to deliver the vaccine to the largest numbers of senior citizens across the UAE to ensure their prevention against the coronavirus and receive two doses as per a timed schedule all over the UAE.

The senior citizens vaccination campaign is more specific as it is addressed to the most important and vulnerable groups to ensure their health and safety, and prevent complications of the disease, as they are the most vulnerable to complications of COVID-19 based on the fact that the vaccine is the best way to protect all the members of the community from the consequences of the virus to a large extent.
