From data received today (Saturday) by "Israel Today", we have so far vaccinated more than 32,000 children aged 5 to 11 in the vaccination campaign that began on Tuesday and another 47,000 appointments have been ordered.
In total, this is about 8% of the target population who were vaccinated or had an appointment for a vaccine.
In Clalit, about 13,000 children were vaccinated and in addition another 15,000 made appointments.
At Maccabi, 15,000 children were vaccinated and more than 26,000 members of the fund booked an appointment to vaccinate children.
This is about 10.5% of the potential for vaccinators at these ages.
In Meuhedet, 3,294 children have been vaccinated so far and an additional 2,820 appointments have been matched.
The potential for vaccinators at these ages in Meuhedet stands at 140,000.
At Leumit, 3,100 appointments were called and 1,400 children were insured with the fund.

In Meuhedet we noted that the rate of vaccinations at the age of 11-5 is already high compared to the rate of vaccinations at the ages of 15-12 - in the first week of vaccination the youth were vaccinated 1,458, in the second week the number of vaccinated youth dropped to 1,032, and only in the third week it rose to 7,210.
Clalit sent text messages calling on parents to make an appointment for a child vaccination.
HMOs say reports of the new variant have affected the rate of immunization.
Ruth Baruch, director of the Corona vaccination campaign at Clalit and head of the community division's nursing department: "The weekend was calmer and we vaccinated several thousand.
She added that "the pace is good but we would like it to be better. This variant proves to all of us that the corona stays with us and that it is worth vaccinating the children. Some are convinced following what they have heard about the strain and some may wait. We recommend coming and vaccinating ".
