Last Thursday, the IDF and the advisory team held a discussion that was open to the public that dealt with the issue. Will be applied before the start of the vaccination campaign - if approved.
Elarei Price also referred to the public criticism of the procedure, saying that opening the hearing to the public "is a move that stems from hearing the public's feelings, and thus also taking active action to seek out side effects. This is another step to increase attention to what the public wants."
At the beginning of the discussion, Dr. Boaz Lev, chairman of the team for the treatment of epidemics, said that the team members preferred to wait for the decision to be made until international bodies such as the FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) and the CDC (US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) accept Decision on the subject.
