The Director General of the Ministry of Health, Prof. Hezi Levy, last night (Thursday) adopted the recommendation of the Priority Committee to vaccinate students aged 18-16. The professional teams of the Ministries of Health and Education will formulate, together with the HMOs, a logistical plan to promote the vaccination campaign. The decision, many students breathed a sigh of relief. These are about 300,000 students in grades 11-12, some of whom are expected to take the winter matriculation exam in the coming month.



The first matriculation exam on this date will take place this coming Sunday - in English, followed by February 1. Mathematics Examination At a cabinet meeting last Tuesday, Education Minister Yoav Galant demanded that students in grades 11-12 be vaccinated immediately after the teaching staff was vaccinated.



The matriculation exams and format were excluded from the government's decision to extend the closure, and students in grades 11- Twelve will be able to take the exams even if they are not vaccinated, but this will presumably hasten their return to school.
