UAE to trial Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccine in children aged 3 to 17
The UAE's Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) has initiated a Sinopharm ‘immune bridge study' for children aged three to 17 years.
The UAE is the first country in the Middle East and North Africa region to conduct a study of the vaccine's effectiveness for this age group.
The study's preliminary results will be announced once available, and will support the planning process for the safe return to schools.
