TV: Israel set to receive hundreds of thousands of Pfizer vaccines by next month

Israeli will receive several hundred coronavirus vaccines from Pfizer by next month, provided regulators clear it for use, Channel 12 news reports.

It says Jerusalem is expected to get between 200,000 and 500,000 doses (two doses are required for every person).

The report says medical teams will be the first to be inoculated. The majority of the population, it stresses, will not be vaccinated this winter.

A top Health Ministry official tells the network: “The early arrival of such a large batch of vaccines will have a positive effect on the fight against the pandemic this coming winter.”
