1. Nationality: select “non-Jordanian”
2. Personal Number: you may use any of the three options:
   • the personal number displayed on the barcode sticker on your passport, which you received upon entry to Jordan by the Jordanian authorities;

   • All refugees/asylum seekers may use the individual number on the UNHCR Asylum Seeker/Refugee Certificate, displayed next to the photograph (11 digits). To make this possible UNHCR enabled you to directly access your data with UNHCR and retrieve information you need for the registration. Please note that the software that enables your access does not share any of your personal data with the Government of Jordan. Your data is in your hands, and with completion of  the registration process, you are sending it to the Ministry of Health.

This will be the only means of communication between the National Centre for Security and Crises Management, the Ministry of Health, and yourself. If your line disconnects after registration, you will be unreachable.

For help in registration issues, you may call the hotline: 065004554.

The Ministry of Health and the National Centre for Security and Crises Management have dedicated a hotline number to help individuals who want to register for the coronavirus vaccine but cannot register through the platform. Please call the hotline number 065004554.

You will receive an SMS from the National Centre for Security and Crises Management when an appointment is scheduled for you to receive the vaccine, informing you of the date, time and location. Please make sure you attend to your scheduled appointment.

Please note that registration does not mean that you are confirmed to receive the vaccine right away. Doses of the vaccine are being delivered to Jordan on different batches, and the Ministry of Health has to prioritize the distribution, after assessing and determining the priorities for the distribution of the vaccines in Jordan, based on risk, benefit and justice, and depending on factors such as age, work sector, health conditions, etc.

Fighting this pandemic and limiting the spread of the coronavirus is a collective effort and responsibility. We encourage you to register to receive the vaccine, especially if you are an elderly, or suffer from chronic illnesses such as heart diseases, diabetes, cancer, respiratory or blood-related illnesses. Please get your information on the vaccine and its efficiency from official and trusted sources, and avoid rumours, which could be harmful for your safety and health and your community.

The categories that are not advised to receive the vaccine are:

• Pregnant and breastfeeding women
• Persons who have allergies
• Children below the age of 16 years old
• Immuno-compromised individuals

The vaccination campaign in Jordan is led by the Ministry of Health and National Centre for Security and Crises Management, under the umbrella of the Government of Jordan. UN Agencies are supporting the government’s efforts by delivering useful and accurate information and making sure everyone is aware of their eligibility and of ways to protect oneself.

To date, 29 main vaccination centres and 45 secondary centres are operating across the Kingdom to provide the vaccine. More centres will be added in the coming weeks and months. You may select the nearest centre to your location when registering.
