Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday that he intends to be first to receive the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine.
Speaking at the foot of the plane that delivered the first batch of approximately 1,000 doses, the prime minister said the fact that Israel, a country with only nine million citizens is among the first in the world to receive vaccines, is not to be diminished.
"I Believe in the vaccines and expect they will be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug administration in the coming days," Netanyahu said.
