The Director General of the Ministry of Health, Prof. Nachman Ash, this evening (Sunday) approved the vaccination of children aged 11-5 with the corona virus vaccine, in accordance with the recommendation of the IDF and the staff of the Corona Vaccine Advisory Team.



Ash detailed that an overwhelming majority of committee members believed the vaccine was indeed safe.

The efficacy data presented by Pfizer indicate a 91% efficacy in preventing disease in children aged 11-5 in a controlled clinical study, and most experts believe that the degree of benefit of vaccination at these ages outweighs the risk involved.



The vaccines are expected to arrive this coming weekend, and the vaccination campaign will begin early next week.

The Ministry of Health published this morning the summary of the latest discussion regarding the vaccination of children.

"According to most committee members, from the data presented by Pfizer, public health physicians and the Association of Pediatricians, Pfizer's vaccine has a good safety profile: most of the vaccine's side effects are mild and transient in a short period of time," it said.



However, a minority of committee members noted that in their opinion the vaccine has a "relatively high reactogenicity rate compared to other vaccines - fever, muscle aches, general weakness, injection site symptoms, etc."



At the beginning of the cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett called on parents to "keep the children and vaccinate them."
