"There is no escape from a full locksmith," Health Minister Yuli Edelstein declared today (Sunday) during a vaccination tour in the north.
"We are in a very difficult eruption, probably in a more difficult situation than we were in early September."
The minister clarified: "We will come with a demand for a full closure for a period of two weeks. We must give this disease one strong blow and together embark on a new path. Within a period of two to three months we can vaccinate the entire population that can receive the vaccine. In April, most citizens who want to get vaccinated will be able to do so, and then we will be able to reach a wide opening in the economy and culture. "

While visiting the Clalit Clinic in Nazareth, Edelstein said: "We are seeing an increase in responsiveness to vaccines in the Arab sector. 16 percent of Arab society have been vaccinated in the district, and we hope the trend will continue. Personally and everyone was vaccinated. "
He added: "I am asked from all over the world how Israel does it. The reasons are that we were prepared on time. We signed on time with the leading companies, and convinced them that if they gave us the vaccine, the HMOs would know to give the vaccine in a very short time - and that is exactly what happens. "People were vaccinated. It's hard to believe, but we are ten percent of all vaccinated in the world."
Against the background of reports of an examination of the British vaccine model, which offers one vaccine dose per person, according to the minister, every vaccinated person in the country will receive two doses.
"There will be no one-vaccine policy in Israel," he said.
"The full vaccine comes after two doses. No half work is done. The unequivocal position of the health system is two injections. Anyone who has had a turn for the second injection will come and receive it."
