       Sources affirmed there have been attempts to change these people’s perception about vaccination; indicating that the number of those who took the booster dose of corona vaccine reached more than 230,000 citizens and expatriates. Sources stressed that governmental efforts to speed up the pace of administering the booster dose were doubled after the immunity of those vaccinated with the two doses decreased. Sources said the Corona Emergency Committee has been sending messages (SMS) to citizens and expatriates who completed the required vaccine doses six months ago or more, urging them to take the booster dose.
