Kuwait to start COVID-19 jabs for public workers, iiQ8

Inoculations later this month to target employees of salons, malls and restaurants

Kuwait plans to start a large vaccination campaign against COVID-19 later this month for workers in different commercial activities having direct contacts with the general public, local media reported.

As part of the drive, the Health Ministry will coordinate with the Information Ministry to inoculate all employees in government and private media institutions.
The date of the inoculation commencement will be set in the coming few days, with the likely start to be later this month or early next month, well-informed sources said.

Mass vaccinations

The Health Ministry is about to finalise regulations for the workers-orientated campaigns, the sources added. They will cover workers at salons, health clubs, restaurants, cooperative societies, malls, and commercial centres as well as recreational facilities. The campaigns will get underway with the arrival of more vaccine supplies to Kuwait.

In late December, Kuwait initiated mass vaccinations against COVID-19. Earlier this month, Kuwaiti Minister of Health Dr Basel Al Sabah said that 2 million people are expected to be vaccinated by September.

Kuwait so far has confirmed a tally of 217,933 coronavirus cases and 1,215 fatalities.
