He added that the initial phase would cover 20% of the population.
It is worth mentioning that, last Thursday, the first phase of the Coronavirus vaccination campaign began in Saudi Arabia, at an equipped center in the capital, Riyadh.
Kuwait has said it expects to start receiving the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine before the end of the year, according to Reuters.
The UAE and Bahrain earlier this month rolled out a vaccine developed by China National Pharmaceutical Group (Sinopharm) to the general public. Bahrain has also granted emergency authorisation use for the Pfizer vaccine.
