The United Arab Emirates, which has rolled out one of the world’s fastest coronavirus inoculation programs, is considering restrictions on people who haven’t yet taken a vaccine despite being eligible for one.
The country started its vaccination campaign last year and has administered about 9.8 million doses in a mostly expatriate population of 10 million. The program was expanded last month and most people 16 and above are now eligible for free shots.
“Strict measures are being considered to restrict the movement of unvaccinated individuals and to implement preventive measures such as restricting entry to some places and having access to some services,” Saif Al Dhaheri, spokesman for the National Emergency Crisis and Disasters Management Authority, said late on Tuesday.
