Cautious optimism in the HMOs:
From the data of the United Health Insurance Fund, this week there was a 16% increase in the response to vaccines for children aged 11-5 and at the same time there was a 34% increase in the response to all vaccines at all ages.
Meuhedet is currently preparing to provide a fourth booster dose for people aged 60 and over, for those who have been vaccinated and for health care workers, provided that four months have passed since the date of receiving the third vaccine.
This follows the recommendation of the team to treat epidemics and the Corona Vaccine Advisory Committee.
Similar to previous vaccinations, Meuhedet is prepared to start vaccinating immediately, with the approval of the Director General of the Ministry of Health. The vaccines will be distributed nationwide at 139 vaccination sites in the various clinics and mobile vaccination clinics.

Mali Kusha, head nurse and director of the nursing department at Meuhedet: "We are at the beginning of the fifth wave. For us so far, it mainly prevents serious illness, and of course it is also effective against the Delta strain that is still with us. "
Maccabi Health Services updated that 30% of the potential vaccinators aged 11-5 have been vaccinated and made appointments for the next few days, in parallel with a 46% increase in vaccinators of all ages from last week.
At present, more than 71,500 members of the fund have ordered an appointment to vaccinate children against the corona virus since the beginning of the pediatric vaccination campaign.
Since the beginning of the vaccination campaign for ages 5-11, more than 60,000 boys and girls have been vaccinated in the Maccabi complexes in the first vaccine dose, and more than 20,000 boys and girls in the second vaccine dose.
The data also show that on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday last week, an average of 2,950 Maccabi members of all ages were vaccinated, and this week in those days an average of 4,310 Maccabi members were vaccinated - an increase of 46%.
