Leumit has ordered about 450 new appointments out of 1,200 appointments made to date.
At the United Health Insurance Fund, 977 appointments were booked last Sunday, and today a double number has already been booked.
Clalit Health Fund reports about 9,200 youths aged 15-12 who have been vaccinated so far.
Today, there was an increase of close to 100% in the appointments for vaccinations, until the afternoon.
The show in Beit She'an: corona tests instead of isolation
Along with discussions about vaccinating the youth, the ministry is expected to release the hundreds of people who went into isolation following the cultural event in Beit She'an, and ask them to conduct corona tests.
Citizens, including those who were vaccinated against corona and those who recovered from the disease - were required to go into home isolation after a verified girl attended a dance performance in the city.
This is until the variant distributed on the spot is identified.
