1. Immunity now: Israel’s vaccine drive is racing ahead a day after a new shipment of shots was flown in, putting it on the path to become the world’s first immunized nation.
Channel 12 news reports that Israel will be getting 400,000-700,000 coronavirus vaccine doses from Pfizer-BioNTech each week until the adult population is immunized, as part of a deal with the company under which it gets health data from Israel’s massive medical database.
According to the report, health authorities are seeking to administer 200,000 shots a day.
