The UAE has doing its best to fight the pandemic without closing its doors. While London has begun the mass vaccination drive, the UAE too has approved the vaccination for the public. Health authorities in the nation have also released a list of the clinic where residents can now go to get a covid-19 vaccine. The vaccination can be taken in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and the Northern Emirates. The UAE has already vaccinated 2.5 million of its population of about 10 million, and is now rated the second highest after Israel. And now, the UAE has announced a whole lot of freebies and major discounts for vaccinated residents. From discounted driving classes to free taxi rides and coffees, here’s what residents who have both doses of the vaccine will enjoy.
