UAE to give emergency COVID-19 vaccine to at-risk workers
The United Arab Emirates government said a vaccine has successfully completed trials, as COVID cases continue to rise.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) approved the use of an emergency COVID-19 vaccine for at-risk workers on Monday.
The UAE government announced the approval of the coronavirus vaccine in a series of tweets. The vaccine will be available to “first defense” workers who are at the highest risk of contracting the virus. The vaccine completed three phases of clinical trials. Those who took the trial vaccine developed antibodies and did not exhibit dangerous side effects, according to the Emirati government.
