Where to get the Pfizer jab in Abu Dhabi

Locations have been confirmed by the Department of Health…

Back on August 14, 2021, the Abu Dhabi Emergency, Crisis and Disasters Committee announced that from September 20, 2021 — individuals will require a booster jab to activate the Alhosn Green Pass.

This applies to all residents and citizens of Abu Dhabi who have received both doses of the Sinopharm vaccine more than six months ago. For whom, a third booster shot (obtained before September 20) will be required or they will risk losing Green Status on the Alhosn app, along with its access privileges.

It was later clarified that this only applies to Sinopharm, those residents inoculated with other vaccine types are currently not advised to top up with a third dose of any manufacturer.

Mixing and matching

Though the Instagram post does say that these services are open to “those who are eligible’, it does not directly preclude receiving Pfizer as a booster.
