(CBN News) Israel will be one of the first countries to receive Moderna’s coronavirus vaccine candidate, which initial reports show to be 94.5% effective against the virus.
Dr. Tal Zaks, Moderna’s chief medical officer for Israel, told Israeli media on Monday that the vaccine is “around the corner” and will likely be arriving in the Jewish State in early 2021.
“I cannot give an exact number but I can guarantee that we are making every effort to supply the vaccines to Israel, as we promised,” Zaks said. “Israel is among the first group of countries that signed with us. We will fulfill our side of the agreement.”
