The booster quickly accelerated delivery
Doha: Authorities have stepped up the distribution of vaccine booster doses amid rising Kovid. The booster dose is given to those over 6 months after the second dose. Distribution is progressing with health centers.
Earlier it was a condition that prior permission was required to take the booster dose. Teachers, non-teaching staff and students over the age of 12 who are eligible for the booster dose in public and private schools can take the booster without prior permission from the health centers. Parents should be careful to vaccinate students over 12 years of age. Rapid antigen or PCR testing should be performed weekly for children under 12 years of age to ensure safety.
The new Qatar Vaccination Center in Boogang will open on January 9 for business and industry to expand booster dose distribution. The center, which is capable of administering 30,000 vaccine doses per day, has not only a booster dose but also first and second vaccination facilities. Vaccination is allowed here only with prior permission.
Vaccines are not available for those who arrive without permission. The booster dose program, which was launched last September, has already delivered 2,74,585 doses. The distribution of the first two doses under the National Kovid Vaccination Campaign surpassed 52,05,664 doses.
Control over HMC OP services
The services of the OP departments of the hospitals under the Hamad Medical Corporation were limited. Only 50% of patients in the outpatient department receive direct consultation. 50% will get phone and video consultations.
The doctor is allowed to visit the doctor at the hospital only if direct medical consultation with the patient is necessary. Recipients of the telemedicine consultation will be contacted by doctor directly by phone on the date of receipt of the OP appointment.
Do not forget to seek help
For queries and inquiries regarding Kovid, call the Ministry of Public Health’s hotline at 16000 and the ambulance service at 999 if you need urgent medical help. Only the number 16000 should be used for inquiries regarding Kovid. Do not use the 999 number for such services. The ambulance service on 999 should be sought only for emergency medical assistance and when the patient needs to be transferred to the emergency department.
