Kuwait’s Ministry of Health is planning on opening five fully equipped vaccination centers to speed up its vaccination campaign, local media reported.

The decision comes as a delay in the third shipment of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine prompts the government to set aside the remaining quantities of the Oxford vaccine for those awaiting their second dose. Moreover, the Mishref fairground - the only vaccination centre administrating the Pfizer vaccine, is witnessing large crowds.

So far, Kuwait has a total of 22 vaccination centres, 21 of which are health clinics set up to administer the Oxford vaccine.

For those who are bedridden, the Ministry of Health has allocated mobile vaccination units for those unable to travel to the vaccination centres. In addition, Kuwait has been using the mobile units to vaccinate workers in commercial and ministerial jobs.

After Ramadan Kuwait is set to open a drive-thru vaccination centre at the South Island of the Al Jaber Causeway bridge.
