The Vice President and Monarch of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, has received the Covid-19 vaccine.
He made the revelation in a post via his official Twitter account on Tuesday, November 3.
According to him, “the future will always be better in the UAE.”
Speaking about the vaccine, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid expressed gratitude to all those working to develop a vaccine for the novel coronavirus.
“While receiving the Covid-19 vaccine today. We wish everyone safety and great health, and we are proud of our teams who have worked relentlessly to make the vaccine available in the UAE,” he said.
“The future will always be better in the UAE.”
The Prime Minister was the latest senior public figure in the UAE to take China’s Sinopharm vaccine.
The country hosted a Phase-3 trial that involved 31,000 volunteers in the Emirates, Bahrain and Jordan.
The vaccine has since been administered to frontline medical workers, senior officials and some members of the Cabinet, after it received approval from the UAE Government for limited use in September.
