Muscat: The Ministry of Health on Sunday launched a campaign targeting a new segment of society as part of its COVID-19 national immunisation drive using Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine.
The campaign targets people aged over 65 in all governorates of the Sultanate, irrespective of whether they are ‘healthy’ or not. The vaccine is given at designated immunization centres.
The two-dose vaccine is given in intervals of four weeks.
It should be noted that people who already received the first dose of Pfizer-bioNTech will not be given the current vaccine.
The Ministry of Health will announce the date of applying for the second dose of Pfizer-bioNTech later.
