“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 wrote.
Earlier in September, the UAE Minister of Health, AbdulRahman Bin Mohammed Al Owais was also administered with the vaccine after it was declared safe for emergency use.
Since then, multiple UAE officials have taken the vaccine including Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Chairman of Abu Dhabi Executive Office Sheikh Khalid bin Mohamed bin Zayed and Minister of Cabinet Affairs Mohammad bin Abdullah Al Gergawi to name a few.
