Health officials tell TV that Treasury causing delays in vaccine deal

The Health Ministry is accusing the Finance Ministry of causing delays in Israel’s vaccine deal with pharma company AstraZeneca for the purchase of 10 million doses, Channel 12 reports.

Officials in the ministry tell the network that when the Treasury was asked to provide funding for the deal, it responded that there was no budgetary source to fund it, and that one needed to be found.

The Finance Ministry responds: “Money will not be an obstacle for vaccines.”
