As part of its ongoing efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19, Ambulatory Healthcare Services announced the launch of child vaccination drive-through service in a number of selected healthcare centres in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. The service enables visitors at selected SEHA healthcare centres to get their child vaccinated without getting out of their car

To avail of the service, the patients need to call a dedicated number prior to or at his arrival to the clinic. They will then be guided through a triaging process to determine whether the service can be provided in the car, following which they will be registered and a suitable medical team will be sent out to provide the service.

The child vaccination drive-through service is now open in 10 healthcare centres across Abu Dhabi city at Al Bateen, Zafaranah Diagnostic and Screening Centre, Mushrif Children’s Specialty Centre, Madinat Mohamed bin Zayed, Madinat Khalifa, Baniyas, Al Bahia, Al Falah, and Al Samha. Meanwhile, in Al Ain city the service is available at Oud Al Touba Diagnostic & Screening Centre, Al Hili, Mezyad, Neima, Al Jahili, Al Yahar, Al Qua, Al Muwaiji, Al Towayya Children's Specialty Centre, and Al Hayer.

Commenting on the launch, Mohamed Hawas Al Sadid, Chief Executive Officer at AHS, said, "The launch of this service comes in line with the words of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, that the protection of our land, people and all those that make the UAE their home is our responsibility. That is why, since the beginning of the COVID-19 situation, we have worked on providing a range of curative and preventive services that cater to the needs of the different segments of society."

Dr. Noura Al Ghaithi, Chief Operations Officer at AHS, added, "In line with international standards, the service will be provided for all vaccinations in the National Immunization Programme with the exception of the 2-month vaccine, as it requires a physical examination. To reassure, parents visiting to get the 2-month vaccine, we have redesigned the patient flow so that the vaccination room and needed services are close to the entrance, therefore reducing the time the patient spends in the healthcare center."
