MUSCAT: Taking COVID-19 vaccines may become mandatory for entering Oman’s government and educational institutions in the future, a top Ministry of Health official said on Monday.
Speaking in an interview Badr bin Saeed Al Rawahi, Director of the Department of Infectious Diseases Control at MOH said “there is a reluctance in some governorates to take vaccinations due to false information.”
“Taking vaccinations may become a condition for entering educational and governmental institutions in the future,” he pointed out.
