Saudi Arabia starts COVID-19 jabs at home

Jeddah Health Affairs on Thursday launched a vaccination program against the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) for home healthcare patients. The program, which is supported by the Health Ministry, is aimed at adult home healthcare patients and adults who share a residence with these patients.

Ministry spokesman Dr. Mohammed Al-Abd Al-Aly said on Thursday that Saudi Arabia’s coronavirus infection rate continues to fluctuate and is being monitored closely.

Saudi health clinics set up by the ministry as testing hubs or treatment centers have helped hundreds of thousands of people around the Kingdom since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.

Saudis and expats in the Kingdom continue to be vaccinated, with 1,093,468 people having been inoculated at 405 centers, including drive-throughs.
Meanwhile, the Kingdom Hospital has been approved as the first specialized private hospital to provide vaccination services against COVID-19. The hospital previously supplied vaccines for free during the national campaign.

A strategic partnership agreement was signed between the hospital and the ministry. The date for receiving those eligible for vaccination is due to be announced shortly.

The Kingdom Hospital said that beneficiaries will be received through the special gate of the VIP Center at the main headquarters located at the intersection of King Abdul Aziz Road with Al-Thumama Road. Medical staff will record the beneficiaries and the vaccine data in approved national electronic systems.
