Against the background of the discovery of the Omircon strain that worries the world and has also been identified in Israel, a certain awakening was recorded today (Tuesday) in the HMOs in orders for vaccinations for children aged 11-5 against the corona, but the vaccination rates remain low.
The Clalit Health Fund reported, as of yesterday afternoon, that 21,500,000 children aged 11-5 have already been vaccinated (out of a target of 500,000) and there are another 17,000 appointments that have already been booked.
The Maccabi HMO reported that more than 34,000 insured people had booked an appointment to vaccinate children against the corona virus, which constitutes about 14% of the target of those vaccinated at this age.
Since the beginning of the vaccination campaign, 22,896 boys and girls have been vaccinated at the Maccabi Health Insurance Fund.

The Leumit HMO stated that up to this stage, about 4,000 appointments had been ordered and 2,100 children had already been vaccinated (about 6% of the target amount).
At this time, 6,650 children were vaccinated at the United Health Insurance Fund out of a target of 140,000 children aged 11-5 (appointments were booked for an additional 2,750 children).
Dr. Elrai Price: "Preliminary data on the effectiveness of the vaccine against Omicron will be received today"
The Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee discussed earlier today the GSS 'certification of civilians who have been with verified members of the new strain - Omikron. Vaccine efficacy against the new strain.
Dr. Elrai Price also explained that the rapid spread in South Africa is very worrying. At the same time, according to data from the Ministry of Health, the coefficient of infection has dropped to 1.03.

Close to the modern CEO's statement that "there is no chance that the effectiveness of the vaccine against the Omicron will be similar to that against the Delta," Dr. Elrai Price reinforces the approach that the spotting method should be used. "It harms children. The more we delay the entry of the virus, the more time we will buy for the citizens of Israel. As soon as it passes from a small amount to most of the plague - there will be no point in continuing to use this tool."
