The COVID-19 vaccination in the United Arab Emirates was a national immunization campaign in the United Arab Emirates in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The vaccination campaign began in December 2020 after its authorization of emergency use of Sinopharm BIBP COVID-19 vaccine.[2][3]

The Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) had approved six COVID-19 vaccines; the following are: Sinopharm BIBP, Pfizer-BioNTech, Sputnik V, Oxford–AstraZeneca, Moderna, and Sinopharm CNBG.[4]

The United Arab Emirates ended all of its COVID-19 related public health measures on 6 November 2022.[5]
