Mowasalat (Karwa) initiates COVID-19 vaccination for its frontline staff

Mowasalat (Karwa) initiated the general COVID-19 vaccination for its employees as part of the national campaign launched at the end of 2020. The campaign is part of the daily precautionary measures carried out by the company to fight the spread of the virus.

As such, the company prioritizes its frontline staff that currently shuttles arriving guests from the Hamad International Airport to the respective quarantine hotels. To protect the community, all other bus and taxi drivers will then also be vaccinated through the health care system, which is provided by Mowasalat (Karwa) in collaboration with the Ministry of Public Health and Hamad Medical Corporation. The company ensures that all employees understand the importance of this vaccination to protect themselves, their families, and their passengers against COVID.
