MUSCAT: The Ministry of Health (MoH) is continuing to vaccinate people aged 45 years and above against Covid-19 in all governorates of the Sultanate as part of the National Immunisation Campaign against Covid-19.
Vaccination centres in all governorates witnessed excellent turnout from the campaign’s targets, which reflects the great societal awareness of immunisation against Covid-19.
In the Governorate of Muscat, the vaccination campaign continues at the Oman Convention and Exhibition Centre and the Al Sahil Health Centre in the Wilayat of Quriyat.
