In less than three months, Israel expects to have immunized all its citizens who are over 16 against the novel coronavirus. Business Insider reports achieving that goal would likely make Israel the world's first to immunize the vast majority of its population. Israel has far outpaced the rest of the world with its vaccination campaign. In fact, it has already administered the first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine to about one in five of its citizens. Last week, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu announced a deal with Pfizer to secure enough doses to immunize its adult population by the end of March.
BioNTech and its partner, Pfizer, will seek emergency approval for their Covid-19 vaccine candidate. The drug companies will file paperwork for the emergency use of the vaccine with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In a final analysis of the Phase 3 trial, the vaccine was found to be 95% effective in preventing Covid-19. The vaccine has been shown to work in all age populations. According to CNN, the new vaccine has shown no serious safety concerns. Drug company execs predict distribution to begin before the end of 2020.
