Top health official confirms talks with Pfizer on vaccine
Chezy Levy, the director-general of the Health Ministry, confirms Israel is in talks to acquire the COVID-19 vaccine being developed by Pfizer and BioNTech.
“We’re in contacts toward signing with Pfizer,” Levy tells Army Radio.
He also warns of an uptick in the basic reproduction number for the virus and says “if we continue like this,” there won’t be a further rollback of lockdown measures.
