Now that a deal was reached with Pfizer corporation, which has made a 90 percent effective vaccine:
Health Minister Yuli Edelstein said Thursday evening that his ministry was poised Friday to sign a deal with Pfizer for the purchase of millions of doses of its coronavirus vaccine, amid indications they could arrive by the first quarter of 2021.It'll be very fortunate when this sad situation in the past year finally comes to an end.
The deal will include the purchase of 8 million doses, which will be sufficient to vaccinate 4 million people out of Israel’s population of 9 million, Edelstein’s office said. Two doses are needed to immunize each person. Delivery of the vaccine will begin in January 2021 and continue throughout the year, it said.
“The purchase of the vaccine is great news for Israeli citizens,” Edelstein said in a statement. “The Health Ministry is making every effort to buy different vaccines, so that every citizen can get vaccinated. But until that happens we must obey the instructions. We mustn’t become complacent.”
