The UAE approved the use of vaccine produced by Chinese drug giant Sinopharm for COVID-19. The UAE health ministry said the vaccine was 86% effective according to analysis of third-phase trials.



The Abu Dhabi health authority (Seha) said that residents in the emirate have the option for booking an appointment to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.



It urged people to call 80050 and book an appointment for the vaccination.



The center was swamped with calls following the announcement on the vaccine's efficacy.



Seha also urged members of the public to get the flu vaccine.



It said on its social platform, “The flu vaccine protects you, protects your community, and eases the pressure on healthcare facilities - especially during this time. Call 80050 and book an appointment for your flu vaccination today.”
