Netanyahu says he will be 1st Israeli to get vaccine, could be 1st world leader

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he will be the first Israeli to get the coronavirus vaccine.

Speaking to Channel 20, Netanyahu says: “The risks in not taking the vaccine are far greater than the risks in taking it, and that’s why I’ll get vaccinated first and I expect everyone to get vaccinated.”

Meanwhile, the Kan public broadcaster reports that Netanyahu and Health Minister Yuli Edelstein intend to get vaccinated in a filmed event this Saturday or even earlier. That could make Netanyahu the first world leader to get vaccinated.
