Bahrain has announced plans to give the public free coronavirus vaccines, as Saudi Arabia said it approved an inoculation by Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech to fight the pandemic.

The island nation of Bahrain made the vaccine pledge in an announcement published late on Thursday by its state-run Bahrain News Agency. “A safe vaccine will be provided free of charge to all citizens and residents within the kingdom,” it said, without elaborating on which vaccine it would offer.
