How do the Ministry of Health's recommendations for vaccinating adolescents differ from those that have been?
About two weeks ago, when the vaccination campaign for teenagers began, the Ministry of Health recommended vaccinating only at-risk youths, those who live with at-risk populations, who are about to travel abroad or whose family members often travel abroad.
Today, following the Ministry of Health's discussion, the recommendation has become sweeping for all youth aged 15-12.
How are the youth vaccinated in accordance with the new recommendation?
After lengthy discussions about the location of the vaccine, it was decided that the youth vaccine will continue to be held at the vaccination centers in the HMOs, the four HMOs are prepared for the formation of long queues and the absorption of new vaccinators.
Following the school eruptions: Where should masks be worn?
According to the ministry's decision, there is no obligation to wear face masks.
However, the Ministry of Health issued an unusual directive to schools in Modiin, asking students and staff to wear masks while staying in institutions.
Due to the fear of importing more disease from abroad, the director general of the Ministry of Health, Prof. Hezi Levy, is expected to sign a new order directing the obligation to wear a mask to passengers and returnees from Ben Gurion Airport from all countries.
