The Ministry of Health has reached an understanding with the British pharmaceutical company Astraznica, and the latest details are currently being finalized ahead of the signing of an agreement to purchase millions of Asterzenica and Oxford University vaccines against Corona.
According to the agreement, Astraznica will supply Israel with about ten million doses of corona virus (AZD1222), which are intended for about five million citizens. The vaccine will be sold to Israel in a non-profit model during the epidemic. The agreement includes the supply of the largest amount of vaccines to reach Israel.
The initial supply is expected to arrive in Israel in the first half of 2021, subject to the approvals of the regulatory authorities in Europe, the United States and Israel.
The Ministry of Health notes that Astraznica is one of the leading pharmaceutical companies in the world and in recent days has published encouraging results regarding the effectiveness of the vaccine in the elderly population.
The ministry clarifies that in contrast to incorrect publications in the media, Israeli citizens will not be required to be vaccinated, but the state will make sure to provide them with the option of getting vaccinated if they choose to do so.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, “Another important achievement for the citizens of Israel. My policy is that anyone who wants to get vaccinated will have the opportunity to get vaccinated. Better preparation than lack of preparation. We will continue to work to ensure that we have as many vaccines as possible, from as many sources as possible.” “
Health Minister Yuli (Yoel) Edelstein added, “A strategic effort of many months is worthwhile! The State of Israel is today facing vaccination agreements with the leading companies in the world. We have set ourselves the goal that every citizen who wishes to do so can be vaccinated. Until then, we must not be complacent. We must adhere to the guidelines – mask, distance and hygiene. “
Ohad Goldberg, CEO of Astraznica Israel, said that this is a historic agreement led by the company’s local representation that will make the vaccine accessible to millions of Israeli citizens as part of an international policy for equal and comprehensive access in the world, in his words.
“As part of the company’s commitment to public health, Astraznica will provide the ‘non-profit’ vaccines during the epidemic and will continue to work closely with health authorities around the world, including the Israeli Ministry of Health. “And at the same time the company continues its research to ensure the safety and effectiveness of AZD1222. We are proud of the mobilization of the company, as well as of the entire biopharmaceutical industry, to assist and save lives while reducing the severe, social and economic impacts of this global epidemic.”
