SOME members of Abu Dhabi’s ruling family are participating in a trial administering China’s Sinopharm Covid-19 vaccine to children aged 3-17, the emirate’s media office said.

The trial will monitor the immune response of 900 children “in preparation to vaccinate children in the near future”, Abu Dhabi Media Office said in a Twitter post this week.

The UAE in May approved the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for emergency use in children aged 12-15.

Dubai, the second-largest member of the UAE federation, started inoculating that age group this month. |
