As part of its plans to reach the required societal immunity against “Covid-19” within a short time, the Ministry of Health has established more to give anti-Coronavirus jabs, especially in areas where a big number of expatriate workers live to relieve pressure significantly on vaccination centers in Mishref and Sheikh Jaber Bridge.

The MOH said more than 18,000 expatriate workers are given vaccines on a daily basis in areas where these workers live.

Beside the establishment of vaccination centers in residential areas, the MOH has pressed into service mobile field units in various other areas and government institutions.

This MOH move has increased the daily vaccination rates to more than 100,000 recently, and will reach community immunity faster than expected.

The Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh Youth Center vaccinates more than 6,000 workers daily, while similar numbers are vaccinated at Al-Tadamun Sports Club from eight in the morning until eight in the evening, while the Employment Vaccination Center in Kabad receives more than 3,000.

These workers are registered on the MOH e-platform by their respective companies to receive the vaccinations.

At the Wafra Center, vaccinations are continuing this week, due to the continued influx of large numbers of workers so far.

On the first day of its inauguration 2,500 workers received the vaccine while the number of those vaccinated last Friday and Saturday was nearly 6000. However, on a daily basis the center is expected vaccinate 3,000 workers.

The health teams are scheduled to move next to vaccinate farm workers in Abdal./   ARABTIMES
