The UAE is carrying out one of the world’s fastest vaccination programmes to curb the spread of the virus.

Meanwhile, a plane carrying 500,000 Covid-19 vaccine doses, donated by the UAE, has arrived in Tunisia.

Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, ordered the donation after a phone conversation with Tunisian President Kais Saied on Sunday.
