"I feel great," the pregnant woman said.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was present at the vaccination, called the day "awesome."

"Go get vaccinated. Let's do it together. Follow the rules. And by the end of April, all adults over 16 years old will be vaccinated, with God's help and with your help," Netanyahu said.
