The mass vaccination program has officially begun in the country, with Pfizer / BioNtech's Kovid-19 vaccine vacated on Sunday to Israeli President Ryuven Rivlin.
To encourage people, Mr. Rivlin tweeted and said, "I got the Corona vaccine. Dear Israeli people, get you vaccinated too. "
According to the Office of the President, arrangements have been made for the vaccine at Hadassah Medical Center in the Ein Kerem neighborhood of Jerusalem.
On Saturday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu received a vaccine to protect against corona virus infection. The day after the vaccination, he said that he was feeling well.
Mr. Netanyahu tweeted, "Yesterday I was given the first anti-corona virus vaccine in Israel. I feel great. I ask all the citizens of Israel to go and get vaccinated. If we vaccinate everyone, we will defeat the epidemic. "
In the first phase of the vaccination campaign, health workers, medical students, medical center employees and volunteers will be vaccinated.
The first batch of vaccines arrived in Israel only last week. Israel has signed an agreement for 8 million doses of the vaccine.
