Abu Dhabi: At one of the UAE’s largest COVID-19 vaccination centres, there is an unmistakable air of hope.
The Seha Abu Dhabi Cruise Terminal Vaccination Centre sees 3,000 people getting vaccinated every day during the 15 hours of its operation. And there are provisions to increase capacity further at the Al Mina area location if the need arises, Dr Dana Al Marzouqi, site manager, told
Gulf News. The centre is operated by Abu Dhabi’s public health provider, the Abu Dhabi Health Services Company (Seha).

“When we first opened in December, we were seeing about a 1,000 people come in. But the uptake has grown tremendously over the last three weeks. In response, we’ve increased our operating hours. People are enthusiastic and willing to get the vaccine. And as we are continuing to emphasise, the vaccine is safer than the disease,” Dr Al Marzouqi said.
