Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday announced that the first batch of U.S. pharmaceutical company Pfizer's newly developed coronavirus vaccine will arrive in Israel in January.
"It will only grow from month to month," Netanyahu said in a video announcement. "We are also looking to acquire vaccines from other sources. The more the merrier."
Pfizer Inc said last week its experimental COVID-19 vaccine was more than 90% effective, making the company and its German partner BioNTech SE the first drugmakers to release successful data from a large-scale clinical trial of a coronavirus vaccine.
