Health Protection Agency (HPA) has established help desks at vaccination centres to assist individuals with issues regarding booking appointments.
Currently, individuals can only receive COVID-19 vaccines by booking an appointment at a vaccination centre. HPA has stated it has been receiving complaints about issues regarding booking appointments online and that individuals can now solve these issues from the help desks. HPA has established the website book.hpa.gov.mv for individuals to book appointments online.
Additionally, HPA stated that individuals who registered to get vaccinated at the Hulhumale' Vaccine Centre are required to go to the Hulhumale' Hospital and that individuals should properly read the information before going to their appointments to avoid confusion.
The government has stated its aim for the nationwide vaccination programme is to inoculate 90% of the eligible Maldivian population from COVID-19 by the end of August. So far, more than 70% of the eligible population have received the COVID-19 vaccine, with 27% of the eligible population remain unvaccinated in the Maldives.
