Although Citizens would be prioritized for receiving corona vaccine before residents. No charges would be imposed on residents to receive Corona vaccines, subjected to the availability of vaccine according to the initial agreements with the companies producing them, well-informed sources told Al-Qabas.
The Ministry of Health is working on determining ways to receive the Pfizer vaccine for Corona, and other vaccines if they arrive late this year and the first quarter of 2021.
Ministry is working to expand the scope of receiving more than one segment in the first stage of the arrival of the Pfizer vaccine, based on the quantity that will reach the country later.
The “principled” agreements stipulate the import of about one million doses of the Pfizer vaccine, one million and 700 thousand doses of Moderna, and 3 million doses of “Oxford-AstraZeneca”.
The target groups including the elderly, people with risk factors, people with special needs, medical staff and nursing staff in health facilities, and workers in the first grades will be given vaccines in their early stages, before graduating to other groups.
