Health Minister Yuli Edelstein congratulated Pfizer on Friday evening for passing yet another hurdle on its way to receiving FDA approval for its coronavirus vaccine, Haaretz reported. Earlier on Friday, a panel of external advisers to the US FDA voted in favor of allowing emergency use of the Pfizer vaccine. 'I am pleased to hear that Pfizer's vaccine has passed a critical phase with FDA's approval. This is a great message for Israeli citizens as well,' Edelstein said in a statement. 'I instructed the health ministry to review the approval and submit its recommendations in the coming days,' he added.
