Click on the button that says “Click here if you are interested in taking the COVID-19 vaccine”. You will be taken to the next page with some questions.
You will be asked if you have had any severe allergic reactions, if you are currently pregnant or breastfeeding, if you are currently in isolation because you tested positive for COVID-19, or if you have received plasma treatment for COVID-19 within the last 90 days.

The health center for vaccination is not guaranteed unless you have received confirmation in your email. You will also get a Request Number after the registration process.
Option 2: How To Register For COVID-19 Vaccine Using Nar’aakom Mobile App
In June 2021, the Primary Health Care Corporation (PHCC) has launched a new service to book COVID-19 vaccination appointments online through its bilingual mobile app, Nar’aakom.
To book a COVID-19 vaccination appointment, patients can download, register and login to the Nar’aakom app, click on E-Services, choose ‘Request COVID-19 Vaccine’’ and enter their QID.

The patient will then receive an OTP for verification, followed by a clinical questionnaire. This will lead to the booking form with an auto-selected box picking up the patient’s previously assigned Health Center.
A patient can select from three preferred dates and timings for the appointment and will then receive a confirmation SMS with a reference number. The Health Center reception staff will review and validate the request submitted and then call the patient to confirm the date and time for the appointment.
Once confirmed, they then book and confirm the appointment through the system and the patient receives a confirmation SMS for the appointment. Patients who fail to respond after three unanswered calls from the reception staff of their local Health Center will be put on ‘pending’ status.
