The priority group to be vaccinated is people over-50s and people with disabilities are the priority for the next five weeks.

As a result, the vaccine push slowed to about 50,000 shots a day on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, although the UAE's campaign remains near the world's best.

But the UAE on Saturday reached a milestone when it administered its five millionth Covid-19 vaccine dose since the country's inoculation campaign began in December.
