In an interview with Army Radio Wednesday, Health Ministry Director-General Professor Hezi Levy said, "based on conversations with manufacturers, I assume that we will receive an FDA approval for the children's inoculation in early May, and we will begin vaccinating at the end of May."
Two weeks ago, Levi expressed concern over vaccine shortages because "more countries now see the power of vaccines," and demand in Pfizer and Moderna vaccines increased "due to the risk of blood clots reported in response to AstraZeneca inoculations."
Nevertheless, on Wednesday Levy said there would be no vaccine shortage.
