How to register for the COVID-19 vaccine in Qatar

From January 17, 2021, the Ministry of Public Health’s new online form for registration for the COVID-19 vaccine is open to citizens and residents looking to be vaccinated against the disease. This new process ensures that contact is minimal, thus helping in combating the spread of COVID-19. This will also see crowding in government offices reduced greatly, which is also good in fighting the spread of the coronavirus.

The new website registration process will ensure that people who meet the requirements to be listed priority groups may request an appointment to be vaccinated. People who aren’t in priority groups can register if they want to be vaccinated. The Ministry of Public Health will save their details and will be notified as soon as they become eligible for the vaccine in future.
