Israel will cross the threshold of two million vaccinators today (Thursday), after nearly 200,000 citizens made an appointment to receive a vaccine by the end - some for the first dose, but among them also citizens who will already receive the second dose.
This, while the vaccination campaign was expanded to the population aged 50 and over and the teaching staff.
Along with half a million recovering people, Israel is in fact in first place in the ratio of the vaccinated to the population.
In the past week, there has been a significant slowdown in the vaccination campaign, with only one hundred thousand people vaccinated in total.
This is despite the fact that there are hundreds of thousands of vaccines in refrigerators in Israel - including 700,000 that arrived on Sunday.
Alongside them, another 400,000 should arrive as early as this coming Sunday.
Before Israel begins distributing the vaccines, it must obtain the approval of the pharmaceutical company Pfizer that the vaccines are approved for use and not damaged during the flight and transfer to Teva SLA refrigerators. After the transport companies received the permits, they began repackaging the vaccines in order to reach all destinations tomorrow morning.

To date, 1,905,006 people have been vaccinated in the first dose, of which 85,797 have already received a second dose.
In addition, the data show that 74% of those aged 60 and over have already been vaccinated.
According to the Ministry of Health, the most common side effects are pain at the site of the vaccine and weakness.
Vaccinators aged 40 to 60 reported the most side effects, followed by those aged 40-20.
Only 15 vaccinated were hospitalized following vaccine side effects, and it was found that most of the hospitalizations were due to some background illness.
The data also show that women have been vaccinated more than men, but the latter report fewer side effects.
Prof. Alon Grossman, director of the Corona Internal Medicine Department at the Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva, said about a third of the hospital's staff had already received a second dose of the vaccine.
"We see that the side effects in the second dose are indeed more severe, just as Pfizer published. They include headaches, weakness and fever, but most of them all pass after 36 hours," he explained.
"After all, when you accompany Corona patients for so many months - you realize it's a very small price to pay compared to the prices Corona charges."

The teachers' vaccine is progressing slowly
The Ministry of Health fears that 15% of those vaccinated in the first dose will not receive the second dose.
However, in light of controversial proposals made by several senior members of the health care system, including Deputy Director General of the Ministry of Health, Prof. Itamar Grotto, settle single dose quickly to vaccinate more people - and only then complete the vaccination.
Office of the public's fear of complacency, From the feeling that only one vaccine will suffice - even though the vaccine consists of two doses. HMOs already report that not all recipients of the first dose, who had to arrive in recent days, showed up to receive the second dose. Thus, for comparison, three weeks ago we vaccinated close to 65,000 Vaccines, but yesterday only 45,000 people came to receive the second dose, when it is likely that some of the missing are isolated or ill. According to the Ministry of Health, the second dose will wait for the vaccine for 35 days.
"It's a pretty simple mathematical matter," adds Prof. Grossman. "The effectiveness of the first vaccine is 60% and the second 95%.
In the case of England - which does not have enough vaccines - then it is clear that it is better for four million to be vaccinated 75% than two million at 95%.
England is taking a kind of gamble here, in the situation of Israel there is no need for that.
In any case, there is no room for complacency, and it is important to receive the second dose - so that we know that everyone is properly vaccinated. "
"Side effects - a very small price to pay."

Grossman notes that many patients who came to the hospital following the corona were infected in line for or after the vaccine.
"We have a lot of critically ill patients, most of whom have been vaccinated. I do not know if they will recover. In one nursing home they were all vaccinated in one day and probably gathered, and after two days 20 of them fell ill. The vaccine, but unfortunately, some of them fell ill during the vaccination itself. "
The teachers' vaccination campaign also began this week, but is progressing at a fairly slow pace compared to the vaccines for the elderly.
Sharona Malul, a science coordinator from the Ish Shalom school in Kfar Yona, has not yet received a date for the vaccine, but remains optimistic.
"I have no anger. I think there are priorities," she says.
"I can understand that everyone is at risk, but it's time for the teachers - so that we can return the system to normal operation."
"It's important to get the second dose - so we know everyone is properly vaccinated."

"It should be understood, one student can disable many teachers and it is impossible to operate a proper system like this," she added. "I have been in isolation four times already. I understand those who think there is a risk in the vaccine, but we are doing what we can to reduce the risks. It is the order of the hour and it is the need - that is how we will win."
Malul is already looking forward to the day after, despite the fact that the students will not be vaccinated soon. "The children will not be vaccinated but will increase the number of capsules for us, and the teachers will not need more isolation - which is very easy. The hardest thing about Corona is the lack of interpersonal communication, discourse and sacrifice, and not through a camera. Concluded.
