The health authorities in the UAE are urging the public to get vaccinated against Covid-19 as cases rise worldwide.

They renewed their call this week after the country exceeded 3,000 daily cases for the first time.

More than 1.8 million vaccine doses were given to Emiratis and residents since the start of a campaign last month.

The UAE authorised use of the Sinopharm vaccine across the country. In Dubai, the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is also available to prioritised groups.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to get vaccinated in the Emirates.

Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine

The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is available at seven Dubai Health Authority facilities. These are: Al Safa Primary Healthcare Centre, Zabeel Primary Healthcare Centre, Al Mizhar Primary Healthcare Centre, Nad Al Hamr Primary Healthcare Centre, Al Barsha Primary Healthcare Centre, Uptown Mirdif Medical Fitness Centre and Hatta Hospital.

Doses are initially available to people over 60, anyone with chronic diseases, people with disabilities, frontline workers and those in essential sectors.

Vaccination for the rest of the emirate's population is planned for April.

How do I register for the vaccine?

The vaccine is available only to Dubai residents who fall into the above categories.

To register, a medical record number with the DHA is needed. This can be created on the DHA website.

After submitting your Emirates ID number, a one-time pin – or OTP – will be sent to your registered mobile number.

The system accepts only people who have a Dubai residency visa. The MRN cannot be created for visa holders of other emirates.

How do I book a Covid-19 vaccine appointment?

Once you have a MRN number, you can book an appointment through the DHA app or using its toll-free number: 800342.

A DHA account or UAE Pass number is needed to register using the app.

After clicking on Book Covid-19 Vaccine, you will have to answer questions that determine your eligibility to receive the vaccine.

Appointments can be scheduled at the nearest centre.

A text message is then sent to confirm the appointment. Everyone has to read the consent form before being vaccinated.

Times and phone numbers of vaccination centres:

Appointments are needed to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. These are organised through the DHA, a customer service agent told The National.

The following vaccination centres are open from 7.30am to 9.30am: Al Safa Primary Healthcare Centre, Zabeel Primary Healthcare Centre, Al Mizhar Primary Healthcare Centre, Al Barsha Primary Healthcare Centre and Uptown Mirdif Medical Fitness Centre.

The remaining two centres are open 24 hours: Nad Al Hamr Primary Healthcare Centre and Hatta Hospital.

Sinopharm vaccine

The Sinopharm vaccine is available to anyone over the age of 18 at more than 152 centres across the country. Home visits can also be booked for elderly Emiratis and residents on request.

It is available at all clinics run by Abu Dhabi's public health operator, Seha; at Ministry of Health and Prevention centres; and at several private hospitals across the country, as well as in some majales.

Health centres that come under the UAE's Ministry of Health and Prevention accept walk-ins, a customer service agent at the ministry told The National. But appointments are needed for vaccination centres and drive-through centres operated by Seha.

Residents can book appointments on the Seha app. Appointments are also needed to get vaccinated at private hospitals in the country.

People deemed to have high blood pressure at the time of their vaccination will be denied the injection.

Libya's Gold

UN Panel of Experts found regime secretly sold a fifth of the country's gold reserves. 

The panel’s 2017 report followed a trail to West Africa where large sums of cash and gold were hidden by Abdullah Al Senussi, Qaddafi’s former intelligence chief, in 2011.

Cases filled with cash that was said to amount to $560m in 100 dollar notes, that was kept by a group of Libyans in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

A second stash was said to have been held in Accra, Ghana, inside boxes at the local offices of an international human rights organisation based in France.

FFP EXPLAINED

What is Financial Fair Play?
Introduced in 2011 by Uefa, European football’s governing body, it demands that clubs live within their means. Chiefly, spend within their income and not make substantial losses.

What the rules dictate? 
The second phase of its implementation limits losses to €30 million (Dh136m) over three seasons. Extra expenditure is permitted for investment in sustainable areas (youth academies, stadium development, etc). Money provided by owners is not viewed as income. Revenue from “related parties” to those owners is assessed by Uefa's “financial control body” to be sure it is a fair value, or in line with market prices.

What are the penalties? 
There are a number of punishments, including fines, a loss of prize money or having to reduce squad size for European competition – as happened to PSG in 2014. There is even the threat of a competition ban, which could in theory lead to PSG’s suspension from the Uefa Champions League.

How to increase your savings
  • Have a plan for your savings.
  • Decide on your emergency fund target and once that's achieved, assign your savings to another financial goal such as saving for a house or investing for retirement.
  • Decide on a financial goal that is important to you and put your savings to work for you.
  • It's important to have a purpose for your savings as it helps to keep you motivated to continue while also reducing the temptation to spend your savings. 

- Carol Glynn, founder of Conscious Finance Coaching
