According to MoPH, VSU will support the vaccination of workers in all businesses, but prioritization would be given to key businesses that in direct contact with the community.

This would include barber and hairdresser salons, restaurants, retail shops, supermarkets, hotels, and other hospitality services.

The Ministry pointed out that only businesses can contact VSU directly to schedule vaccination appointments for their staff through VCIA@hamad.qa

Furthermore, the vaccination service has already begun, and tens of thousands of workers have been vaccinated so far.
