Transfer of Swine Flu Vaccine via Israel to the Palestinian Authority
Civil Administration in Judea and Samaria

This evening the Civil Administration in Judea and Samaria facilitated the
entrance of 20,000 does of swine flu vaccination to the Palestinian
Authority. This effort, which brought the vaccinations to Ramallah via the
Qalandiya crossing, comes a few days before Palestinians will set out to the
"Hajj" to Mecca early week and was necessary since vaccination against swine
flu is a condition of entrance to Mecca, Islam's holiest city. The Civil
Administration places great value on cooperation and coordination with the
Palestinian Authority in the fields of health and religious expression.
