After the vaccination campaign has received increased public response and great success, the Ministry of Health is preparing for the next and more difficult challenge - vaccinating teenagers aged 15-12, after Pfizer vaccines have been approved for this age range during the month of May.



Senior officials in the office explained to Walla!

Because they expect greater resistance from parents to vaccinate their children, than with regard to adult vaccines.

The resistance is expected to come mainly because children are not severely affected by the disease, and in Israel there is no mortality of children from Corona at all.

According to officials, morbidity in the country has dropped sharply and many will not understand the need to continue vaccinating in the face of encouraging data.

Health Minister Yuli Edelstein announced on Thursday that Israel has crossed the 50% threshold for all Israeli citizens vaccinated in the second dose.

"Thanks to you, the State of Israel defeats the corona. All that remains is to follow the instructions so that the corona does not return."

To this end, the ministry is preparing several programs to encourage vaccination, in which vaccinated students and youth will receive benefits and relief.

Already during the coming summer in the office want to allow to hold summer camps of youth movements in broad outlines, if more than 90% are vaccinated in each branch or nest.



Magen Israel understands that the parents need to be recruited for the move, so in the next school year - 2002, full studies will be possible without capsules for grades 7-12, if there is 90% immunization in the class.

The Ministry of Health hopes that after more than a year of distance learning, parents will give wider approval.



Already today, there are children under the age of 16 in Israel who have been vaccinated with a special permit from the Central Immunization Committee.

The approval is given if the child has background diseases that cause an over-risk in the corona, such as obesity or diabetes.

There are currently 21 children up to the age of 18 verified in Corona who are hospitalized in the country's hospitals, of whom three are newborns.

One child in critical condition and four more in critical condition.

In the storage refrigerators in the country there are thousands of other vaccines for the benefit of the youth, waiting for approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Pharmaceutical companies Biotech and Biotech announced yesterday the launch of an experiment that will test the effects of the corona vaccine on children under the age of 12, with the aim of extending the vaccines to these ages in early 2022, as soon as possible.

A parallel experiment was announced by a modern company last week.



The first volunteers in the early stages of the experiment received the first shots yesterday, a spokesman for the company said.

The experiment is supposed to include children from the age of six months to the age of 12, and will test in the advanced stages of the experiment what dose is appropriate for the different ages - 10, 20 or 30 micrograms.

The vaccine is expected to expand to a total of 4,500 experimenters, and as part of this, the safety of the trial and the immune response to it will be examined.
