The children's vaccination campaign against the corona virus is officially underway today (Tuesday).

This, after the transparent hospitals actually started vaccinating 11-5 year olds already yesterday.

In the shadow of the increase in the coefficient of infection, about 25,000 children have already registered to receive the vaccine, about 1,000 of whom have already been vaccinated.



Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has set a goal of vaccinating 50% of children by the end of the year.

This is similar to the HMOs' expectation that half of the parents intend to vaccinate their children.

Bennett himself will arrive this morning in Herzliya, where he will be vaccinated.

Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz will open the operation in Tel Aviv.



Tonight, after several weeks without the Corona cabinet sitting down, the ministers will convene to discuss the children's vaccines.

The Ministry of Health is not expected to raise issues for voting, but to show data that indicate the effectiveness and safety of the vaccine for ages 11-5 as well.

Guy Lichter, 11, who was among the first vaccinated in the first dose at the General Health Fund in Kfar Saba, said Atomel after receiving the vaccine: "I expected it to sting more and it would affect me. Get vaccinated if you do not want us to reach the fifth wave."



Dr. Julie Fleischer, a general practitioner at Clalit in the Sharon Shomron district, came with her 11-year-old son Noam Fleischer to get vaccinated. We have been waiting a long time for this moment. As a doctor, we've been talking about this for a long time at home. It is important to us that he be vaccinated, that the small children be vaccinated. As mild as the disease sounds in children, quite a few children suffer from prolonged coronary heart disease, and we see that months after that they suffer from headaches, weakness and lack of concentration. "



After the vaccination, Noam said that . And the character is green, so I can fly to places. "

Corona projector Prof. Salman Zarqa said at the start of the campaign that "the vaccine will help us return to the routine of life, without having to stay at home.



Zarqa further explained that after the first phase of the vaccination at the HMOs, a second phase will begin in which the vaccinations will be carried out by mobility in isolated places, and in the third phase vaccinations will be given in schools. He further stressed that the government will continue to approve free antigen tests for children.



The Department of Health's childhood vaccination campaign highlighted the rise in morbidity at a young age, and that millions of children have already been vaccinated in the United States. "Over three million children have already been vaccinated in the United States. Now they can be protected in Israel as well and the corona can be prevented from it," the ministry said in a statement urging parents to "consult the pediatrician, make a decision based on facts and data.Vaccinate and protect the children and prevent the next wave. "

Health Minister and Meretz chairman Nitzan Horowitz said last night at the end of his faction meeting in the Knesset that "the morbidity now is mainly among children and youth, and the rest are people who have not been vaccinated or whose vaccination has expired.

The conclusion is that we should go and get vaccinated. "Regarding the upcoming Hanukkah holiday events, Horowitz added that" we live next to the corona, and the events will take place while maintaining the precautionary measures. "
