Israel is in talks with other countries about a deal to unload its surplus of Pfizer/BioNtech COVID-19 vaccines, doses of which are due to expire by the end of the month, a health ministry official said on Sunday.
Hezi Levi, the ministry's outgoing director-general, did not provide details about the number of doses Israel was looking to hand over in an apparent swap arrangement.
In an interview with Radio 103 FM, he confirmed that such a deal had been discussed with Britain last week but said an agreement had not materialized and was "a thing of the past".
Israel's Haaretz newspaper put the amount of doses at about 1 million.
