PM Netanyahu spoke on the phone with the CEO of the American pharmaceutical giant Pfizer and agreed on a deal to acquire the newly-developed COVID vaccine.
Pfizer recently released a report of its test results, according to which, the vaccine has been successful in treating the virus in 90% of the cases.
Israel has also agreed to terms with another US-based pharma company, Moderna, which said it has completed third stage testing of its product and will release the success rate in the near future.
