Ash called on the public not to enter into complacency despite the arrival of the vaccines, and the beginning of their distribution, especially during the holiday season approaching its end.

"Despite the arrival of the vaccine, it will take at least two months for the results to be felt, so it is very important to continue to follow the guidelines: put on masks and avoid crowds during the holidays," Ash said.

Ash's remarks come, as mentioned, ahead of the start of the vaccination campaign that will begin in the coming days, when about two million members of the at-risk and older population, over the age of 60, are expected to receive the first dose of the vaccine in the coming days.

After the end of the first part of the distribution of vaccines, another round of vaccinations is expected for the entire population.

To date, Israel has purchased 3.8 vaccines from Pfizer, which should be enough for 1.9 million people, 6 million vaccines from Modern, which should be enough for 3 million and another 10 million vaccines from Astraznica, but the vaccine from this company has not yet been received. Approval from the Ministry of Health.

Tonight, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Health Minister Yuli Edelstein are scheduled to be vaccinated live in order to encourage the public to get vaccinated and to fight misinformation and concerns about the vaccine.
