The Dubai Health Authority announced on Tuesday that 17 private healthcare service providers are permitted to administer Covid-19 vaccines.
The service will be in addition to all DHA vaccination centres that offer doses.
"The vaccines will continue to be provided free of cost," said Dr Farida Al Khaja, chairwoman of the Covid-19 Vaccination Steering Committee.
"Extending the vaccination drive in partnership with private healthcare providers aims to expand capacity and enhance access and convenience for the public.
"The private health sector is a key partner in our drive to ensure excellence in patient-centred care."
All citizens and Dubai residence holders, GCC nationals with an Emirates ID and those over 60 who live in Dubai but have a residence visa from another emirate are eligible to receive the vaccine in the emirate.
Bookings must be made directly with a private healthcare centre.
To make an appointment at any DHA vaccine facility, customers should download the DHA app. Those over 60 years can call 800 342.
The two vaccines available in Dubai are those developed by Pfizer-BioNTech and Sinopharm.
Those scheduled to receive the second dose of their Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine will receive it.
Appointments for this shot will be either in Al Garhoud Medical Fitness Centre or Al Twar Dialysis Centre.
The Wellness on Wheels initiative, which features two mobile clinics that provide vaccinations to the elderly, workers and underprivileged members of society, will continue to operate.
The DHA also has a mobile vaccination place for government agencies and a home vaccination service.
The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is also available at the Dubai Parks Health Centre and Al Jalila Children's Specialty Hospital, Dr Al Khaja said.
