Saudi: Booster shot mandatory for citizens travelling abroad

The General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) issued a circular to all airlines operating in the airports of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, including private aviation, in regard to updating travel procedures to and from the Kingdom.

The circular stipulates that it must be ensured that citizens departing the Kingdom have received the (third) booster dose of the (COVID-19) vaccine for those who have spent (three) months from the time of receiving the second dose, with the exception of the age groups who are under (16) years of age, or from the exempted categories, according to what appears in the (Tawakkalna) application.
