Two days after the publication of "Israel Today" that the Ministry of Health is examining the possibility of broadcasting part of the experts' discussion on the approval of the children's vaccine, the Director General of the Ministry of Health, Prof. Nachman Ash, addressed the issue today (Tuesday). "Transparent, at least some of the discussions will be broadcast on the Internet. We do not want there to be any irrelevant effects on the discussion because it is public."
Earlier today, Dr. Sharon Elrai Price, head of the Public Health Service on 103FM, was interviewed and said: "I do not think that within a week and a half we will start vaccinating children in Israel, I think there will be serious discussions.
We want to present all the information to the scientific community in Israel, share it with the public and explain about the vaccine in the near future during the month of November. "
