How did Israel vaccinate 10-50X faster? This paper says:
Small population, geographically tight area, relatively young population, decent weather in December 2020, a centralized national system of government, and well-developed emergency infrastructure

1/
Community health care with IT, organization, community nurses, cooperation between government, health plans, hospitals, and emergency care providers, and support tools and decisionmaking frameworks to support vaccination campaigns.
2/
COVID19 funding for vaccine purchase and distribution, timely contracting for a large amount of vaccines, the use of simple, clear and easily implementable criteria for determining who had priority for receiving vaccines in the early phases of the distribution process...
3/
A creative technical response that addressed the demanding cold storage requirements of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, and well-tailored outreach efforts to encourage Israelis to sign up for vaccinations and then show up to get vaccinated.
Not magic or luck...
4/
So; Israel’s excellent vaccination campaign showed good planning + prioritization, they have well designed community health care that integrated with public health, and featured a cohesive centralized response...
(*Taking notes- thinking of public health planning for future....)
