The Israeli government agreed to send COVID-19 vaccine doses to South Korea on Tuesday after the Palestinian Authority rejected a similar Israeli offer.
Israel and the Republic of Korea signed a mutual vaccine supply agreement. Israel will “immediately” transfer 700,000 Pfizer vaccine doses to Seoul, which will administer them to citizens by the end of July. South Korea will send the same amount of doses from a future order to Israel in September of October, according to a press release from Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s office.
