A Palestinian Health Ministry spokesman said 38,000 doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine would be used for inoculations as of Sunday, while 24,000 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine would be stored"until there is a scientific decision from the World Health Organization".
But the organisation appealed to nations on Monday not to pause vaccination campaigns over the safety fears. An official in the office of the U.N. special coordinator for the Middle East peace process said the vaccines"will be critical tools in our fight against the pandemic and for socioeconomic recovery".
The West Bank, where 3.1 million Palestinians live, has reported 146,359 coronavirus cases, with 1,667 deaths. Gaza, with a population of two million, has registered more than 57,891 cases with 572 deaths.
