Pfizer will receive data on Israelis who receive the company's coronavirus vaccine as part of the agreement that will see the U.S. drugmaker deliver new shipments of the treatment as soon as next week.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed the news during Thursday's press conference, adding the deal includes the transfer of statistical data on those vaccinated by the HMOs, without violating the patients' confidentiality.
The deal between Israel and Pfizer was made following a request by the American pharmaceutical giant to obtain the medical data of those vaccinated in order to examine the effects of the vaccine on different populations.
