However, the Ministry of Education is not bothered by the situation, and trusts the teachers to be vaccinated in the coming days.

"We believe that most teachers will get vaccinated in the booster both during the week of Sukkot and during the first days of school," he told Walla!

A source in the Ministry of Education.

"A teacher who does not get vaccinated with a booster will need to get tested. Most teachers have been vaccinated with the first and second vaccines, meaning they are no longer in the business of denying vaccines. For most it is just a matter of scheduling when he will do the third. .

According to the source, the Ministry of Education will expand the issue of information about the corona virus among teachers: "We will increase information among teachers and also prepare for the worst situation - we will have a big gap in teachers. But I do not see chaos here, teachers are responsible people. For vaccines. "

The source also noted the recommendation of the FDA's US Food and Drug Administration experts to vaccinate teaching and health workers in the United States.

This is in parallel with those aged 65 and over and other populations at risk.

"I think what the FDA has said is that overall Israeli policy is serious," he stressed.

"We get updates on a daily basis about how many teachers we vaccinated in Booster. We will manage it, tell you it's a non-challenging event, that there will be a lot of teachers here who will not be vaccinated in Booster? It will be a surprise, but we need to prepare for it. "Probably not. It will have consequences and implications," he concluded.

"I want 100% of teachers to be vaccinated"

Ran Erez, chairman of the teachers' union, supported the Ministry of Education's demand that teachers be vaccinated or checked bi-weekly: "Everyone should be vaccinated properly.

I am in favor of this in an unambiguous way.

Teachers who do not have a green mark or do not take tests - can not work.

I do not know how accurate the figure is, but if that is the case, the situation is not good.

I want 100% of the teachers to be vaccinated. "

A representative of the Ministry of Education also updated the Education Committee on the progress of "Operation Antigen 2", which distributes the rapid corona tests for home use to parents of students up to sixth grade so they can be tested for return to school after Sukkot - and said that out of 1.6 million antigen kits, up to Today, more than 400,000 kits were distributed.

Following the Cabinet decision, Teachers' Union Secretary General Yaffa Ben-David threatened the Education Committee that the organization would petition the High Court if teachers were forced to function as "corona trustees" and were forced to enforce the requirement to present a negative certificate.

"The teachers and kindergarten teachers are neither selectors nor Corona inspectors, they are educators whose relationship is built on trust with the parents, and now they are told to violate this relationship in a very abusive way," Ben-David claimed.
