Prior to this, the Ministry of Interior said that beginning February 1st, all Saudi citizens and resident expats in the Kingdom will be required to receive a booster dosage of corona vaccination in order to maintain their immunity status on the Tawakkalna application.

Anyone over the age of 18 who wishes to attend any social, economic, commercial, cultural, scientific, entertainment, or sporting event in the Kingdom must have immunity. Those with vaccine-related concerns are exempted, according to their Exempted status in the Tawakkalna application.
