Al-Safadi pointed out that there are encouraging measures for those over 55 to receive the vaccination, and we are trying to encourage citizens to receive the vaccination in order to preserve their lives.

He indicated that vaccination is available to everyone and is free of charge, and all rumors aim to reduce the demand for vaccination, stressing that vaccination has no risks, and that its application starts from 16 years and above.

"Following safety procedures and health instructions and receiving vaccination is the way to protect against the Corona virus," he said.

He pointed out that there is an increase in cases infected with the Corona virus, and there are critical and serious cases in the European Hospital, and the new mutation is dangerous as it affects children.
