Shiekh Khaled receives Covid19 vaccine – ‘UAE committed to frontliner safety’

Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Member of the Executive Council and Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Executive Office, was today administered the COVID-19 vaccine.

This was during his visit to Khalifa Hospital to review the first day of the vaccine being administered to frontline workers in all vital sectors.

“In support of the programme and to encourage workers in vital sectors to take part, His Highness received the COVID-19 vaccine, affirming the leadership’s commitment to support all frontline workers,” a statement from the Abu Dhabi Government Media Office said.

Vaccine trials across the UAE, in which more than 31,000 volunteers from 125 nationalities are participating, have demonstrated that the vaccine is safe and effective.

“The vaccine is one of the steps that the UAE has taken to contain the spread of the virus and protect the health and safety of the community,” the statement added.
