Qatar has launched a free coronavirus vaccination campaign after the first batch of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine arrived in the country on Tuesday.
The vaccine will be administered in two doses, three weeks apart at seven primary health centres in the country.
The priority will be given to people who are aged 70 and above, people with multiple chronic conditions and key healthcare staff working in close contact with COVID-19 patients.
The first vaccination phase will run until January 31, 2021 and the government has said it expects to have enough vaccines to cover the country’s entire population in 2021. (Aljazeera)
