The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) has said that about two-thirds of the people eligible for inoculation against Covid-19 have now received two doses of the vaccine in Dubai, Reuters reports.

DHA deputy director general Alawi Alsheikh Ali told Dubai Television late on Saturday that 83 per cent of people aged over 16 — or about 2.3 million people — had now received at least one dose of a vaccine and that 64pc had received two doses in the emirate.

The UAE recently said nearly 85pc of its total eligible population had received at least one dose of a vaccine, without saying how many people had had both doses.
