. . . Responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in June 2021 . . .

• The World Health Organization has approved China’s Sinovac CoronaVac COVID-19 vaccine for emergency use, allowing the vaccine to be used in the global COVAX programme.[1][2]

• Governor Baker of Massachusetts terminated the COVID-19 State of Emergency effective June 15.[3]

• The Israeli Government has announced plans to transfer at least one million doses of the Pfizer–BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine to the Palestinian Authority. These vaccines are scheduled to expire soon.[4]
• The Palestinian Authority later cancelled the agreement with Israel to transfer at least one million doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine to the West Bank. In justifying the cancellation, Palestinian Health MinisterMai al-Kaila stated that the vaccines’ expiry dates were close and that the Palestinian Authority had rejected Israeli demands that none of the vaccines be transferred to the Hamas–run Gaza Strip and that the contract not be signed by the State of Palestine.[5][6]
