The current vaccination centres in the Greater Male' Region are the National Art Gallery, Villimale' Youth Centre, and Tree Top Hospital. HPA stated the vaccination centres will be providing the first and second dose of the Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccines. The first dose of vaccinations are available for people over 18 years of age who have not yet been vaccinated, and the second dose of vaccinations are open three weeks after receiving the first dose.
