Israel is looking to buy 36 million more doses of COVID-19 vaccines, three times the number it has already bought, in case booster shots are needed later in the year, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday.

“We are working on bringing a further 36 million vaccines for the citizens of Israel,” Netanyahu said in public remarks. “The vaccines we have, no one knows how long they last… We need to prepare for the worst scenario. The worst scenario is that we have to vaccinate every half year.”
