Stock Vaccine in UAE — APPROVAL FOR COVID-19 VACCINE BOOSTER, A TIMELY MOVE: The Ministry of Health and Prevention’s approval for a booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine for people aged 18 and above is welcome. To be given only six months after the second dose, it will apply to those who are fully vaccinated with the Pfizer-BioNTech and Sputnik vaccine. Senior citizens, people of determination and those with chronic diseases would do well to avail the opportunity and go in for the booster without delay, so they can get the necessary protection.

OPN EDITS — ADDRESS IRAN’S NUCLEAR PROGRAMME-AND BALLISTIC MISSILES PROGRAMME: Will the US return to the 2015 nuclear accord with Iran that was annulled by former President Donald Trump? This will be clear when talks restart between Washington and Tehran in Vienna after a five-month hiatus. The talks have assumed increased significance due to the fact that Iran has made significant advances in its uranium enrichment programme, which could potentially lead to a nuclear bomb. And the proposition of a nuclear armed Iran is unacceptable to the international community. But, Iran's nuclear programme should not the only issue for negotiators. They must also address Tehran's ballistic missiles programme. Besides, Iran must also realise that its best interests lie is good relations with its Arab neighbours. To this end, it must stop interference in their affairs. [COMMENT BY: Omar Shariff, International Editor] Image Credit: AP
