Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Thursday night that continued talks with Pfizer’s CEO, Albert Burla, have resulted in an agreement that will see all willing Israelis over 16 vaccinated by the end of March.
“We will be the first country to emerge from COVID-19,” Netanyahu declared.
Praising the efficiency of the Israeli National Healthcare system for the swift delivery of over 1.5 million vaccine doses to date, Netanyahu also credited the system with finalizing the deal and with the birth of the new vaccination campaign dubbed “Back to Life.”
Netanyahu promised that details of the order of vaccination cohorts will be shared soon and that the first regular delivery of Pfizer vaccines to Israel will arrive as early as Sunday.
