The UAE has been on top of vaccinating all its residents and so far 10 million vaccination doses have been administered. It’s a different story in other countries though. Realising the importance of the vaccine, Emirates carried out millions of doses to other countries in need.

Globally, around 1 billion doses of the vaccine have been administered. Emirates SkyCargo is responsible for shipping out 59 million doses to more than 50 countries around the world.
