HMOs report an increase in the rate of vaccinations in the fourth dose last weekend (Friday and Saturday), compared to the previous weekend.
It is possible that the jump in the number of vaccinators follows the decision of Prime Minister Bennett and Health Minister Horowitz to give an incentive to every vaccinator over the age of 60.
As you may recall, yesterday a study was published in the Clalit Health Insurance Fund on the effectiveness of the fourth vaccine dose for corona and found a 78% reduction in the risk of mortality from the corona virus in people aged 60 and over who were vaccinated for the fourth time, compared to vaccinated three times.

At Clalit Health Insurance Fund, 704 people were vaccinated in the fourth dose last weekend. For comparison, the previous weekend (18-19 / 3), 257 vaccinated people were registered in the fourth dose. An increase of almost three times.
The United Health Insurance Fund reports a 348% increase in demand for the fourth vaccine, for those aged 60 and over. There has also been a 226% increase among all ages, compared to last week.
Mali Kusha, head nurse and director of the nursing department at Meuhedet, said: "The risk of people aged 60 and over who did not get vaccinated from omicron is 11 times greater, and if they did not get vaccinated with the fourth vaccine the risk is 4. 83% more severe. , And 94% of the total deaths.
