About 120,000 vaccines of the “Modern” company landed at the sea (Thursday) at Ben Gurion Airport. The shipment in question arrived on a flight from Frankfurt, Germany, aboard a Jumbo 747 aircraft of the CAL airline (“Challenge Expedited”). Teams from the Maman cargo company are preparing at Ben Gurion Airport to unload the plane and transport the vaccines, which are driven by the logistics company Keuhne Nagel.
As you may recall, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced last night that the first shipment is expected to arrive today. In a video he published, he said: “A few days ago I spoke with the CEO of Modern, Stefan Bensel, and tomorrow the first shipment of vaccines is scheduled to arrive in Israel.” This is after in recent days, the company updated that the Ministry of Health has approved its vaccination.

This is the company’s first shipment, and more will come. I am working to bring millions more vaccines to Israeli citizens. And forever from the corona plague. “
