All of the COVID-19 vaccines approved for use in the Kingdom had proven their efficacies against the virus, said a top infectious disease expert yesterday. Lt. Col. Dr Manaf Al Qahtani said the vaccines had also proved their efficacies against various virus mutations. “The jabs effectively raised immunity and reduced the severity of symptoms in the event of viral infections,” said the Infectious Disease Consultant & Microbiologist at the BDF Hospital. Dr Manaf Al Qahtani is also a member of the National Medical Taskforce for Combating the Coronavirus (COVID-19). He also pointed out that with over 70% of the eligible population receiving at least a dose of the vaccination, Bahrain has also become a world-leader in vaccination efforts.
