Dr. Daoud Hanania, Jordan’s most renowned cardiologist, was the first citizen to receive the COVID-19 vaccine in the Kingdom as a national vaccination drive got underway Wednesday.

Jordanians have taken their step toward recovery and breaking the “strange” spread of the coronavirus, Hanania told Petra shortly after he was inoculated against the respiratory disease in an Amman clinic.

Hanania, a retired army general who served as director of the Royal Medical Services, indicated that he had been in touch with top research institutions which emphasized that the vaccine is the main “weapon” against the virus, alongside other precautionary measures.
