Health Minister Yuli (Yoel) Edelstein updated this morning (Wednesday) that "we have passed the threshold of 200,000 vaccines a day."
He said, "This is the pace to beat the mutation!"
"Already 550,000 people have also been vaccinated with the second vaccine, 2,272,000 have been vaccinated with the first vaccine," Edelstein noted.
"Continue to maintain the guidelines even upon receiving the vaccines. A little more and that's behind us."
Yesterday, Edelstein instructed the director general of his office, Prof. Hezi Levy, to prepare for 250,000 vaccinations a day. It was also determined yesterday that the age of the vaccinated has been reduced to 40 and that pregnant women can also be vaccinated.
Meanwhile, Tomer Lotan, head of the Magen Israel headquarters, said in an interview with the GLC earlier: "About 8,500 more verified people were diagnosed yesterday, but the coefficient of infection is falling systematically. It shows that the public is attentive to the closure. "
