In the coming weeks, the State of Israel will transfer one million corona vaccines from Astra Zenika to African countries through the International Covax Vaccine Distribution Mechanism.
In recent months, the State of Israel has strengthened its relations with the countries of the African continent, including a return to observer status in the Organization for African Union.
The significant contribution of vaccines, which will reach close to a quarter of the continent's countries, will contribute to strengthening ties between Israel and these countries.
Cubex is a global vaccine distribution mechanism centered in Geneva, for unified procurement and equitable distribution of Corona vaccines.
The mechanism is the product of exceptional global cooperation and for many developing countries this mechanism is the only way to obtain vaccines.
The Cubex mechanism also ensures that the vaccines reach the countries that can absorb them (with "absorbency").
Foreign Minister Yair Lapid: "The State of Israel joins the international effort to vaccinate populations that are unable to obtain vaccines.
I am happy that Israel can contribute and be a partner in eradicating the plague in the world.
As long as there is no distribution of vaccines that will help eradicate the virus worldwide, the corona plague will continue to spread and new variants will develop in areas where vaccination rates are low. "
