Saudi Arabia: Covid-19 vaccinations are mandatory for work attendance

Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (HRSD) announced on Friday that all employees working in the public, private and non-profit sectors must be vaccinated.

The ministry urged employees to register on the Sehhaty app for vaccines, in an effort to curb the spread of the virus and to ensure a safer work environment for all.

“As soon as I heard the news, I registered for my vaccination on Sehhaty. My manager sent us all a reminder to do so or else we won’t be allowed to go back to work,” said Zaynab Abdullah, a teacher living in the Kingdom.
