The Civil Administration in Judea and Samaria announced on Thursday evening that it had assisted in transferring 20,000 doses of swine flu vaccination to the Palestinian Authority via the Kalandiya crossing.
The vaccines were transported to Ramallah in anticipation of next week's annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca, as vaccination is required of those who wish to enter the city.
