Dubai parents rush to get their children Pfizer Covid vaccine before mid-term break – The National
Parents in Dubai rushed to get their children vaccinated against Covid-19 within hours of an announcement that those aged 5 and above were eligible to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.
Families said Dubai Health Authority's announcement was timely, as most international schools in the emirate will close on February 11 for the mid-term break and many pupils will travel to home countries and other destinations.
