Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu tonight received the second dose of vaccine at Sheba Tel Hashomer Hospital.
Health Minister Yuli Edelstein was injected together with him, thus opening the second phase of the vaccination campaign.
Netanyahu said: "I have come to terms with the CEO of Pfizer on additional vaccine shipments, which will allow us to vaccinate all Israeli citizens over the age of 16 within the coming two months; by the end of March at the latest."
Health Minister Yuli Edelstein said, "I call on everyone to take safety measures - we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Let's get to the point where Israel becomes the first nation in the world to have all its citizens vaccinated."
