The Health Ministry has told HMOs that starting August 1, any Israelis over 18 receiving their first shot will receive Moderna’s coronavirus vaccine, according to Hebrew media reports.
Anyone getting their second shot or between 12 and 18 years old will continue to get the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine that Israel has been relying on for its national immunization drive.
