(ANSAmed) - TEL AVIV, NOV 15 - Israel will begin vaccinations against Covid for children aged between 5 and 11 in the next few days. This was announced by the director general of the Ministry of Health, Nachman Ash, who thus accepted a recommendation from a team of Israeli experts in the fight against the pandemic. Ash found that Pfizer data shows that the vaccine for children is 91% effective. According to most of the Israeli experts questioned on the matter, the usefulness of the vaccine for that age outweighs the possible risks. Consequently, the Ministry of Health advises parents to provide for vaccinations. Furthermore - in the declared intent to undermine the dissemination of 'fake news' on the web- the ministry has released a detailed document that addresses all the medical implications of vaccinating children.


    In Israel, the pandemic is in a waning phase.

Yesterday 390 infections were detected out of 73 thousand swabs.

The sick suffer 145. In the last seven days there have been a total of 16 deaths: 30% less than in the previous week.
