Health authorities released a list of the clinics, hospital and majales where people can now receive the Covid-19 vaccine.

A voluntary vaccine campaign began in Abu Dhabi this week and has been extended to Dubai and the Northern Emirates.

The Sinopharm vaccine – which is 86 per cent effective according to UAE regulators – is available at all clinics run by Abu Dhabi's public health operator, Seha, and at hospitals run by the private company VPS Healthcare from 8am to 8pm.

In Dubai, residents can get the injection at Dubai Parks and Resorts field hospital near Jebel Ali.

In Sharjah, it is available at Wasit Medical Centre from 4pm to 9pm. People can also be vaccinated at Majlis Mughaider, Al Madam Medical Centre, Kalba Medical Centre, Al Lulueyah Health Centre, Al Dhaid Medical Centre and the Family Health Promotion Centre.

In Ajman, people can go to Al Humaidiya Centre from 9am to 12.30pm and from 5pm to 8.30pm as well as visit Mushairif Health Centre.

Al Bait Metwahid Centre, Al Salamah Health Centre and Falaj Al Mula Medical Centre each in Umm Al Quwain provide the vaccine.

Murishid Medical Centre‎, Dadna Health Centre, Al Khulaibiya Health Centre in Fujairah all have vaccine stock for the public.

The timings for Umm Al Quwain and Fujairah centres are from 9am to 1pm Saturday to Thursday and Friday from 4pm to 9pm.

In Ras Al Khaimah, residents and Emiratis can receive vaccines at Immunity Health Centre‎, Al Jazirah Al Hamra Health Centre and Al Meireid Medical Centre.

The UAE approved China's Sinopharm vaccine for use after Phase-3 trials found it was effective against coronavirus.

The Ministry of Health on Wednesday said it had approved a request from the Chinese drug maker "in a major step towards combating the global pandemic".

The Sinopharm vaccine was widely trialled in the UAE in the summer in a campaign involving 31,000 people.

Residents can get the vaccine in government clinics and health centres in Abu Dhabi from 8am to 8pm.

Appointments can be booked through a network of Abu Dhabi health centres and clinics run by Seha.

Bookings can be made by calling 80050. A message which plays before the main menu options offers residents the option to arrange an appointment.

Private clinics, including all VPS Healthcare hospitals, can also be visited for vaccination against Covid-19.

The vaccine is administered in two injections, 21 days apart.
