The Department of Health – Abu Dhabi (DoH) announced that Covid-19 vaccines and PCR tests would now be available in pharmacies.

Covid-19 vaccines will be provided free of charge, and the PCR tests will be priced at Dh40.

The initiative was rolled out on July 25.

The first phase will allow community members to take PCR tests and for those eligible over the age of 18 to receive the Covid- 19 vaccination. The programme will later expand the offered services to include other types of vaccinations, such as the seasonal flu vaccine and various travel vaccines.

Several pharmacies have successfully completed courses certified by DoH to administer these vaccinations. After successful completion, the pharmacies receive the authorisation added to their license based on the Department's regulations and standards. The Department will provide the list of licensed pharmacies through www.doh.gov.ae/en/Abu-Dhabi-pharmacies

The Department of Health encourages the pharmacies that wish to provide Covid-19 vaccines and PCR tests to apply and add speciality applications through the TAMM platform.
