The "Give Shoulder" vaccination campaign was launched at the beginning of last week, and for the first time this morning (Tuesday) the Ministry of Health publishes the general immunization data in the Emergency Division's "Snapshot" report. According to the data, more than one-fifth of the population aged 60 , This is 21%.
According to the ministry, 115,427 people were vaccinated yesterday, with the national target being one hundred thousand people a day.
So far, in nine days, about 495,000 people have been vaccinated - this is almost half a million vaccinated, a number that exceeds the number of those infected in Israel since the beginning of the epidemic.
The data show that the age group in which the most people were vaccinated is between the ages of 70 and 80, where 25% (146,000 people) were vaccinated, followed by those aged 60 to 70 with 20%.
Among those aged 80 to 89, 18% were vaccinated, and among those aged 90 and over, only 11% were vaccinated.
The low number may be due to the fact that only this week the vaccination campaign began in the nursing homes and possibly due to difficulties in accessing the vaccination centers.

The data refer to a vaccine of 424,500 people and will be updated later.
To date, almost half a million Israelis have been vaccinated in Corona.
In the lower age groups the vaccinated are mainly from the medical staff.
Among those aged 50 to 59, 5% (38,000 people) were vaccinated, and at younger ages between 1% and 3%.
The corona vaccine is only given from the age of 16 and up, but according to the data, 12 children aged 0 to 9 were vaccinated.
Highest vaccination rate - in the periphery
