The first shipment of the Pfizer COVID vaccine designated for children ages 5-11 is slated to arrive in Israel on Wednesday, reports the Ynet news site.
According to the news report, the shipment will contain hundreds of thousands of the vaccine doses, which are about one-third of the dosage of the adult vaccine.
The Health Ministry formally approved administering the COVID vaccine to children ages 5-11 yesterday, and the rollout of the shots is expected to begin shortly after the shipment’s arrival.
