Three weeks since the start of the vaccination campaign for children aged 11-5, and already today (Monday) they started arriving at the vaccination complexes of the Maccabi Children's Health Fund, which were vaccinated three weeks ago in the first dose, in order to be vaccinated again.
The fund reported that in total, from the beginning of the pediatric vaccination campaign until now, about 53,500 vaccinations have been scheduled for children against the corona virus - which constitutes about 22.5% of the potential for vaccinators aged 11-5.
However, only about 44,500 children insured by the fund have been vaccinated to date in the first dose, which is only about 18% of the total potential vaccinators at the relevant ages.

The first time passed easily and it even strengthened us more to come and get the second dose. I do not understand how there are so many parents still We did not vaccinate their children. "
