The registration of the Sinopharm CNBG Covid-19 vaccine follows the success of the Phase 3 Clinical Trials, which began in Abu Dhabi and was overseen by MoHAP and the Department of Health, managed by G42 Healthcare, and administered by Seha. 31,000 volunteers took part in the clinical trials, the analysis of which proved the inactivated vaccine’s 86% efficacy against the Covid-19 virus and was followed by the administration of the vaccine to emergency personnel and frontline healthcare workers.
The new centres are each divided into two zones – one for each dose, with every zone including 24 vaccination
stations.
Visitors to the Covid-19 vaccination centre and other Seha facilities administering the vaccine will first register and then undergo a vital checkup, including blood pressure, height, weight, and temperature.

Following the examination, visitors will undergo an assessment to confirm their eligibility and sign a consent form, after which, they will be given the first dose. After receiving the first dose, they will receive their appointment for the second dose, administered three to four weeks after first dose.
