The procedure was broadcast by the state-owned television and radio company Kan 11.
As reported by TASS, referring to the office of the head of the Israeli government, the vaccination procedure "was carried out in front of cameras on the air in order to inspire the general public to vaccinate by example."
Earlier, Netanyahu said that he would be the first in the country to receive a coronavirus vaccine.
In addition, on December 14, the Israeli Institute for Biological Research received approval from the country's Ministry of Health for the beginning of the second phase of clinical trials of its own vaccine.
