The cost of such a vaccine vacation in Dubai, including a round trip in a small jet, varies from Rs 35 lakh to Rs lakh per head but may be more, depending on the operator’s prices, the city of origin, the duration of stay and the number of passengers.

Synopsis

The trend started in March, when Dubai allowed resident visa holders to register for vaccines, and has picked up in April, as the Covid-19 scenario in India has turned grimmer. The UAE is vaccinating people aged 40 years or more, that too at no cost.

Rich Indians with Dubai resident visas are taking a vaccine vacation in Dubai. Chartered flights are doing brisk business. The vaccine of choice for these vacationers is Pfizer’s, though AstraZeneca and Sinopharm are also available in UAE.
