Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Health Minister Yuli Edelstein issued a statement from the drive-in at the Maccabi HMO in Tel Aviv.

"It is possible that as early as next week we will be able to start the vaccinations of medical staff, and I hope that we will see a response from the population. There is no shortage of any equipment and there is an extraordinary preparation by the HMOs," said Edelstein.
