The Minister of Health, Dr. Ahmed bin Mohammed Al Saidi, chaired the 25th press conference of the Supreme Committee on Thursday.


At the meeting, he said there will be procedures against any person who refuses to receive the vaccination without a clear medical reason, which will be announced later.


"Employees of government institutions who refuse to take vaccination doses without a convincing medical reason, will take legal action against them in the future, and private sector institutions may take the same approach," he said.


The government aims to immunize 65 to 70% of the target groups with at least a dose of Covid-19 vaccines by the end of August.


The number of immunized people that have been entered into the surveillance program is 1,266,293 citizens and residents.


The number of doses that the Sultanate has reserved for the end of this year is over 7 million, including 4, 200,000 doses of Pfizer.
