The evening before the fateful IDF decision on childhood vaccines, and a moment after the new reliefs that will take effect tomorrow, the head of the public health services, Dr. Sharon Elrai Price, explains in a special interview with Walla!
Its position regarding the vaccination of children, including her children, that the decision will directly affect them.
In addition, the head of public health discussed the differences between the Bennett government and the Netanyahu government, and the date of the start of the vaccination campaign.
Dr. Elrai Price, you have children at the ages that the members of the IDF will discuss their vaccination.
Are you going to vaccinate them?
"True, I have two children aged 7 and 9, and I will certainly store them. I also suggest all parents go to the Ministry of Health website and see there the detailed position mobile of the Pediatricians' Association. The document has all the data and it will help them get the The decision. I would not tell parents - 'Go vaccinate your children, but go read and learn'. I vaccinate my children only after I study the data and know it is effective and safe. "It is very low, there is still a chance for Lubby Cubid and PIMPS (multisystem inflammation). I want every parent to take responsibility and learn how to protect their child."

Assuming the vaccine is approved, what are your assessments regarding responsiveness?
"I do not know, but a lot of people ask me when it starts and I think there will be a significant response. A survey conducted by the United Health Insurance Fund found that 50% are going to vaccinate their children, which is a higher number than responding to vaccines aged 15-12."
You have decided to lower some of the green label restrictions, do you think this will cause parents not to vaccinate their children?
"The reason to vaccinate the child is not the green mark and the purpose of the green mark is not to encourage vaccinations, but to reduce morbidity and when the disease goes down, it is our duty to lower the green mark. This time, unlike last time, we recommend the Prime Minister and the Cabinet We learned from the previous time that until everything goes back to normal, the disease is spreading in the meantime. "

When will the vaccination campaign for children begin?
"It will take at least a few more weeks because we do not have the vaccines yet. But when the vaccines arrive, and the IDF will recommend, all our systems are ready for rapid action.
All the infrastructure is also in the Ministry of Health and at the box office, so the moment there are vaccines can begin. "
We stand for several days at an average of 500 guests new day, whether these are not numbers too high to begin easing these?
" 500 It is really quite a bit, so we took For starters the limitations are out there because the risk is low and that we can release.
The next step will only continue when we see a continuation of morbidity decline.
In the previous wave activated the green character in larger numbers, now we just continue it.
I think it is very likely to be easier at the moment - there is no reason to leave them. "
"Decision makers' considerations go beyond health considerations"
Minister Horowitz spoke of a decline in the fourth wave. In a cross-sectional view, how do you sum up the management of each of the waves that were?
"I do not want to come to conclusions because we are not there, but we learn from every wave - such as even when there are very few patients continuing his green daughter. The systems that will test the attenuation of the vaccine - this is also something we learned from this wave. .
Horowitz said this wave was better managed because there were no sectoral considerations and there was no cloud of corruption, is that something you felt in managing this wave?
"We pass our professional recommendations all the time on a data base. Ultimately decision makers make their decisions based on their own considerations, beyond health considerations. Every government has its own considerations - in one government it is sectoral considerations and in this government these are economic considerations. In the end. "There is always a difference between the professional position and the decisions made at the end, which take into account economic, educational and political considerations. This is how the system works - decisions are made not only on the basis of net health considerations."
