A drive-through vaccination centre has just opened in Lusail, Hamad Medical Corporation has announced.
The new centre, which is behind Lusail Multipurpose Hall, will be open to those who need their second dose.
There will be no appointments at the centre – you just need to visit 21 days after your first appointment, and you will be seen on a first-come-first-seen basis.
Her Excellency Dr. Hanan Mohamed Al Kuwari, Minister of Public Health, said, “Qatar is well on its way in the rollout of its vaccination program and as per our strategy we are now making drive-through vaccination an option for our population.
“Our first drive-through PCR testing centers have been very popular and continue to be successful with high visiting volumes.
“The opening of the Lusail COVID-19 Drive-Through Vaccination Center will further strengthen our ability to protect Qatar’s population from the threat of the virus.”
After receiving your vaccine, you will be asked to wait in your car in an observation area for 20 minutes to ensure you do not have a reaction.
Currently, only those over the age of 60, anyone with severe chronic conditions, healthcare workers, frontline workers and other essential staff are eligible for the vaccine.
Last month, teachers also became eligible, and a dedicated centre was set up at the Qatar National Convention Centre to accommodate the roll-out.
Qatar has also just begun issuing the Moderna vaccine at three health centres.
