Israel seeks to sell obsolete vaccines to other countries.
Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett recently spoke with the CEO of the Pfizer vaccine company, Reuters reported.
According to the Hebrew-language site, Bennett was briefed on the company’s plans to deal with the coronavirus and discussed with Pfizer CEO how to provide new vaccines for Israel.
According to RotterNet, the most important focus of these talks is how to exchange a significant amount of expired vaccines in Israel with new vaccines.
Earlier, the Hebrew-language media reported on Israel’s efforts to get rid of a significant amount of its depoted corona vaccines due to its expiration date.
Haaretz reports that Israel currently has more than 2 million doses of the Corona vaccine depot, which is nearing the end of its expiration date.
“The validity of the available vaccines expires on July 31 (about 25 days from now) and we must agree with Pfizer to exchange them in any way possible,” Haiz Levy, director general of the Israeli Ministry of Health, told Israel Radio FM 103.
He also revealed that Tel Aviv had offered London an exchange of its old vaccines with new ones that Britain intended to inject immediately into its citizens, but British officials refused.
The Palestinian Authority also refused last month to receive 2 million doses of the expired Corona vaccine from Israel.
The news comes as Kun TV reported last night, quoting researchers at Israel’s Hebrew University, that Crona Pfizer vaccines were weaker than previously thought against mutated viruses.
