Her Majesty also urged those in attendance to protect themselves and their families by getting vaccinated against COVID-19, stressing that vaccination is the only way to achieve economic recovery and a return to normalcy.
Queen Rania explained that she and His Majesty King Abdullah were grateful to have been able to receive the vaccine early on in the pandemic in order to protect themselves and those around them. She also cautioned against the spread of misinformation surrounding the vaccine, particularly as more contagious COVID variants continue to emerge worldwide.
“For all of us – for our children, our parents, and our families – we must encourage each other to get the vaccine,” she stressed.
Her Majesty also stopped at the Al Shobak Charitable Society for Women, which aims to empower local women by building their capacities and providing them with economic opportunities. Accompanied by Society President, Basma Habahbeh, the Queen toured the society’s facilities, viewing its productive kitchen and speaking to its beneficiaries.
Established in 2009, the Al Shobak Charitable Society for Women operates a wide range of economic and charitable programs, including the use of homegrown Al Shobak apples in the production of apple cider vinegar.
