Dubai: The UAE Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHaP) has further expanded its COVID-19 vaccination campaign by opening up booking slots for 12 to 15-year-olds for the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine through the ministry website or COVID-19 app.
The ministry also noted that those who took the second dose of the Sinopharm vaccine at least six months ago are now eligible to receive booster shots.
This came days after MoHaP approved the emergency use of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for children within that age group, following the completion of clinical trials and a strict assessment conducted to approve the local emergency use of the vaccine, as well as the approval of the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
