The Ministry of Health clarified that in Israel there is stock only for the current round of vaccines.
"There is an important need to purchase millions of additional vaccines to prepare for various scenarios such as booster dose, vaccination of children over the age of 12 (after studies and the FDA approve it), and the provision of vaccines that are resistant to variants that may arrive.
"Thanks to vaccines, Israel is the first to emerge from the Corona Crisis. Thanks to the procurement we seek to make, Israel will continue to be the most protected country in the world from Corona. One of the most important purchases a country can make at this time should not be taken lightly," said the Ministry of Health in a statement.
