Abu Dhabi: Nearly 5 million COVID-19 shots have been administered across Saudi Arabia, according to health ministry’s statistics.
On December 17, the kingdom rolled out its vaccination campaign against coronavirus after receiving batches of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.
It has since set up more than 587 vaccination centres across the country.
Health authorities have encouraged the people to register for receiving the jabs via the smartphone app Sehhaty.
Workers in certain fields in the Kingdom will be required to take a PCR test every seven days at the expense of their employer if they are not vaccinated, the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs and Housing announced last week.
