At the same time, the Maccabi HMO announced that in a study it conducted after vaccines in the third dose, aged 60 and over, 86% were found to be effective in preventing infection after 7 days or more of receiving the vaccine.
Dr. Anat Aka Zohar, Head of the Information and Digital Health Division at Maccabi, called on all people aged 50 and over to be vaccinated with the third dose: "The effectiveness of the third vaccine is high both against infection and against serious illness.
The effectiveness of the vaccine is also proving itself against the Delta strain and is the solution to curbing the widespread morbidity. "
Corona projector Prof. Salman Zarqa made a statement to the ultra-Orthodox media today:
We want to reach people who have not been vaccinated, both through you and through the rabbis.
"Eliminating the disease is an irrelevant fantasy at the moment, the virus is here and will probably stay with us."
"The virus is here and will probably stay with us as well."

Zarqa presented the morbidity data in the ultra-Orthodox cities, according to which 12% of all morbidity in the last day is from ultra-Orthodox society, and called for promoting vaccines for young people: "The vaccination rate for ages 12-18 is a big challenge. It's crowded, it's very important. "
Morbidity in ultra-Orthodox society has risen in the shadow of the opening of education frameworks in the sector, which has been done without an outline and a regulated program.
"We are working with the ultra-Orthodox sector to produce an outline. We are working on it, and clearer guidelines will be issued soon."
The Corona projector elaborated on the flights to Uman on Rosh Hashanah, stating that for the government recovering and vaccinated will be able to fly.
"We are having a dialogue with the Ministry of Religions on an artist's outline. We understand the need for people to fly and pray in a place that is important to them. I very much want the ultra-Orthodox public to be able to celebrate Tishrei, but mind control precedes Torah."
