Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUkraine is investigating whether vaccines were smuggled from Israel and illegally used at a Kyiv clinic, Reuters reports.
Senior Ukrainian officials and businessmen are among those believed to have received the shot, which hasn’t been approved by Ukraine.
The vaccine is believed to be the Pfizer-BioNTech version. The clinic accused of running the operation reportedly charged 3,000 euros per dose.
