One week after the opening of the third vaccination campaign for people aged 60 and over, the Ministry of Health instructed psychiatric hospitals today (Friday) that employees and patients aged 40 and over are also entitled to be vaccinated with another dose. The geriatric and patriarchal systems will also be vaccinated with inpatients aged 18 and over and employees aged 40 and over. In this system, the majority are elderly, but there are people aged 18 and over with disabilities in designated hostels.
In the Corona Cabinet, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett wanted to examine a third dose for the entire population aged 40 and over, but the head of the Public Health Services, Dr. Sharon Elrai Price, rejected this, claiming that it was not a policy decision made by the Cabinet of Ministers. .
Prof. Yuval Melamed, chairman of the Psychiatric Association of the Medical Association, welcomed the decision: "Corona disease exists in the general public and creates a complex therapeutic challenge for patients hospitalized in mental health centers and staff engaged in this important work.
Due to the lack of ability to maintain distance and wearing masks we welcome the important step that helps us maintain the health of patients and staff.
We hope to continue promoting the psychiatric service required in infrastructure, accessible outpatient service and community rehabilitation solutions. "
