The Sinopharm vaccine study on children has some Abu Dhabi royal family members as participants.
Sheikh Theyab bin Mohamed bin Zayed, Chairman of Abu Dhabi Crown Prince's Court, was filmed with his sons and nephews at a vaccination clinic.
The clinic gives children aged 3 to 17 Sinopharm vaccine and gets them checked for side effects. Officials said 900 children will take part in the trial.

Dr Nawal Al Kaabi, chairwoman of the National Covid-19 Clinical Management Committee, who is leading the study, said "We want children and parents to understand every step of the process and also to know that we will be with them, supporting them, answering every question they may have, at any time," she said.
Children aged 12 to 18 are already receiving the vaccine in Dubai schools.
