Abu Dhabi is reportedly providing free COVID-19 vaccines to tourists as the United Arab Emirates pushes ahead with one of the world’s fastest vaccination campaigns. 

The Associated Press reports that the Emirati capital hasn’t made an official announcement, but the health authority’s mobile app updated its vaccine access criteria to say that visitors from abroad could now get a jab. The vaccines will be offered only to those whose passports allow them to receive visas on arrival.
