The two drive-through vaccination centers and the vaccination center at the Qatar National Convention Center (QNCC) will close over the next two weeks.
More than 320,000 people have visited the drive-through centers for their second dose vaccines, but with summer temperatures continuing to rise, conditions have become very challenging for staff and service users.
The last day of operation for Lusail COVID-19 Drive-Through Center will be Wednesday 23 June, the last day of operation for Al Wakra COVID-19 Drive-Through Center will be Wednesday 30 June, and the last day of operation for the vaccination center at QNCC will be Tuesday 29 June.
Dr Mariam Abdulmalik, Managing Director of Primary Healthcare Corporation, said: “The vaccination center at the Qatar National Convention Center was initially set up to prioritize the vaccination of teachers and school staff. Since opening in February, more than 600,000 people – teachers, school staff and many other eligible members of the community - have been vaccinated at the center.”
The decision to close these facilities comes after the opening of one of the world’s largest vaccination centres in Industrial Area. It is primarily meant for the business and industry sector.
