Doha: In a post on Twitter Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) said that people without car can take their second dose in a taxi at Lusail COVID-19 Drive-Through Vaccination Center.

Opening hours 

The Drive-Through Center is operational from 11am to 10pm, 7 days a week. Last entrance to the Center is 9pm daily. 

Busiest times 

People attending the Drive-Through Center will be seen on a first-come-first-seen basis. At peak times you may be required to wait while other people are seen first.
In the first few weeks of operation the busiest times have been between 11am and 1pm daily. For the fastest and most efficient experience, it is recommended that people visit between 2pm and 7pm. 

What if people don't have a car? 

People using the Center must complete the vaccination process in a car or suitable vehicle - it cannot be done on foot. However, people who do not own a car can visit the Center and complete the vaccination process in a taxi.

People receiving second dose of vaccine are eligible to visit the COVID-19 drive-through vaccination centre in Lusail. Those scheduled to receive their second dose can go directly to the drive-through centre on their scheduled day, without the need for an appointment. 

Primary Health Care Corporation (PHCC) will schedule eligible people for their second dose at the drive-through centre, at the time of their first dose appointment at health centres.

The drive-through centre is behind the Lusail Multipurpose Hall, open from 11am to 10pm every day. People will be seen on a first-come-first-seen basis and last entrance to the centre will be at 9pm.
