“All vaccines available in the UAE have been scientifically tested to be effective in providing the required immunity by producing antibodies that combat SARS-CoV-2, which causes Covid-19 and protects the person, who has taken the jab,” Dr Al Ghaithi said.

“Covid-19 vaccines do not completely prevent the possibility of an infection. However, they will protect you against severe symptoms and complications. A vaccinated person can still become infected with the virus without showing any symptoms. It’s important to continue adhering to precautionary measures, including physical distancing, wearing a mask, and regularly sanitising in order to help reduce the risk of infection.”
