Head of the UAE government, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, received a dose of an experimental vaccine for COVID-19 on Tuesday, according to a statement on his official twitter account. The ruler of Dubai wrote in a tweet attached to a photo of him receiving the vaccine, "We ask God to protect everyone and recover everyone, and we commend the work teams that have worked hard to make our country one of the first countries in the world to receive a vaccine for this virus." "The future is always better and beautiful in the UAE," he added. Last September, the UAE announced that it had authorized the emergency use of a vaccine against the emerging coronavirus, which is still in the third phase of tests for use by health workers.
