UPS delivers first batches of Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine to Saudi Arabia

UPS has announced the successful delivery of the first batches of the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine in Saudi Arabia, to support vaccinations of first citizens and expatriates. Saudi Arabia is the first Arab country to roll out the Pfizer-BioNTech jab, marking a breakthrough milestone in the ongoing response to the Covid-19 pandemic. 

Saudi Arabia is the first country in the Middle East that UPS is serving. It spent months developing new products, agile approaches and new capabilities to ensure it is fully prepared to deliver the vaccine at the right time, at the right temperature to communities all over the world and especially in the Middle East.

Rachid Fergati, UPS Managing Director for Middle East and Indian subcontinent said: “UPS has proudly delivered the first batches of the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine to Saudi Arabia, to support vaccinations of first citizens and expatriates in the country. We are honored to work with UPS Healthcare partners in other countries to help deliver what matters in these times.”
