The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) has expanded its home vaccination drive to include more social segments that are unable to visit the centres.
People of determination, Emiratis aged 50 & above and Dubai residents who are 60 and older can take the COVID-19 vaccine from the comfort of their homes.
The DHA will be administering the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine to eligible groups in collaboration with Dubai Ambulance and the Mohammed Bin Rashid University of Medicine and Health Sciences.
Mobile buses and a dedicated team of health professionals have been allocated for the home vaccination service, which will be available every day from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm.
The service can booked through the DHA’s toll-free number 800 342, and within 48 hours the slots will be confirmed.
Those who provide proof of residence in Dubai, regardless of the Emirate in which their residency visa was issued, can also benefit from this initiative.
The move is part of Dubai’s ongoing efforts to restore full normalcy and ensure high levels of protection for the community from COVID-19.
