Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHealth Ministry director Chezy Levy says Israel will approve use of the Pfizer vaccine within days of it getting approval from the US Food and Drug Administration.
Levy, speaking at a Hanukkah event, also warns that infection numbers are mounting across all strata of society.
“We see a rise in the number of sick daily and also in the weekly average. It’s not just because there’s more tests,” he says.
He warns that Israel’s viral reproduction rate is at 1.24. “This is a high R,” he says, noting that it was at 0.8 when Israel emerged from lockdown.
