Saudi: COVID-19 booster dose mandatory from February 1

People in Saudi Arabia will be required to receive a booster dose of a COVID-19 vaccine eight months after getting double-jabbed to maintain their vaccinated status.

As of February 1, 2022, adults aged 18 and above will need to have a booster dose in order to keep their fully vaccinated status on the Tawakkalna application.

Having a fully vaccinated status on the app allows people to do the following:

• Take part in any economic, commercial, cultural, sports or tourist activity.
• Attend any cultural, scientific, social or recreational event.
• Enter any governmental or private establishment.
• Travel on planes and public transport.

Those exempt from taking the vaccine against coronavirus as listed on the app do not need to take the booster dose.
