All eligible Abu Dhabi government employees must be vaccinated against COVID-19 and must also take the booster shot to enter the workplace, from January 10.
The directive is not applicable to employees with official medical exemption.
The Abu Dhabi Government Media Office said the latest move is aimed at enhancing existing measures to protect public health.
It also added that government employees, service providers and contracted personnel must continue to adhere to previously introduced measures, including presenting a negative PCR test result every 7 days.
Meanwhile, visitors to government entities, customers and temporary employees are required to present a negative PCR test result received within 48 hours.
