Israel is financing Sputnik for the government of Syria, for use in Syria only. The deal is part of a prisoner swap where Syria released an Israelí woman. Vaccine diplomacy. Israel has only used Pfizer on its citizens, though it also ordered Moderna and has a small stockpile of that on hand. https://www.timesofisrael.com/israel-said-to-purchase-russian-covid-vaccine-for-syria-in-exchange-for-captive/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
