A total of 220,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine were administered in the UAE on Sunday.

It's an all-time high for jabs given in a single 24-hour period since the launch of the National Vaccination Programme.

According to the National Emergency Crisis & Disasters Management Authority (NCEMA), the country also ranks second globally in the daily vaccine distribution rate per 100 people.

It said the achievements are in line with the directives of the UAE leadership that prioritises human health and also reflects the crucial efforts of the country's healthcare sector.

Commenting on the development, Dr. Abdul Rahman bin Mohammad bin Nasser Al Owais, Minister of Health and Prevention (MoHAP), commended the tremendous efforts made by all the parties behind the National Vaccination Programme.

He also hailed the increased level of public awareness and people's positive response to the MoHAP's vaccination drive.
