Israel also approves Pfizer’s Modna vaccine
Vaccination at the fastest rate in the world
Moderna made a statement that day and said, “The Israeli Ministry of Health has approved the Modena 19 vaccine.” “Israel has secured 6 million doses of vaccine,” he added, adding that “the first delivery will begin soon.” Currently, Israel is vaccinating the COVID-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer-Bioentech.
However, Israeli local media such as Times of Israel reported that the Israeli Ministry of Health has not yet issued a separate position.
According to Times of Israel, the cumulative number of COVID-19 vaccine vaccines in Israel as of the morning of the 5th was about 1.37 million. It is 14.8% of the total population of 9.25 million, according to Israeli authorities.
Israel’s COVID-19 vaccination rate is the fastest in the world. According to a three-day count of the global statistics site’Our World in Data’, the number of vaccinations per 100 people in Israel is 14.14 doses, far ahead of the UK (1.38) and the US (1.30), which preemptively started vaccination.
In particular, the speed of vaccination is also getting faster. 500,000 people were vaccinated within 9 days of vaccination, and it exceeded 1 million in 14 days. Foreign media cited securing sufficient quantities of vaccine in Israel and preparing for vaccination in advance as the secret to the speed of vaccination.
The Israeli government plans to inoculate a total of 2 million people with the Corona 19 vaccine by the end of this month.
