Minister of Health: We will provide several vaccines in appropriate quantities

Health Minister Dr Tawfiq Al-Rabiah confirmed that the ministry will provide Corona vaccines from various sources in large quantities over the next few years, explaining that the Kingdom is one of the first countries in the world to start administer vaccines on December 17th.

In a speech he gave “from a distance” at the 20th Hajj-Umrah Research Forum, Al-Rabiah said the ministry had noticed an increase in the epidemiological curve of Corona injuries in Saudi Arabia.

He pointed out that the Ministry of Health is currently working to flatten the epidemiological curve, and is also working seriously with various parties to further implement the precautionary measures, after noticing some laxity as he described.

The health minister indicated the large size of health facilities, with Saudi Arabia increasing the number of intensive care beds to 13,000 beds, an increase of 60%. He said: “Today there are over 230 (reassuring) clinics available to examine Corona, except for the extensive examination procedures.”
