The Saudi Ministry of Health has confirmed that Saudi citizens and residents will have access to free vaccines across the Kingdom.

The ministry aims to provide vaccines for 70 percent of citizens and expats by the end of the year

Dr. Abdullah Asiri, the ministry’s assistant undersecretary for preventive health has stated that those who have not tested positive for COVID-19 will be given priority in the vaccine campaign in the coming months.

However, under-16s are not to be vaccinated unless research or tests prove a need.

“The Kingdom worked on two paths to obtain the vaccine, through the COVAX organization, which the G20 had a role in creating and financing,” he added.
