[국제]Israeli Vaccine Speed ​​Show “Vaccination completed in March”

[앵커]

In Israel, which is said to be a model country for vaccination, vaccination is getting faster every day.

Israel, which vaccinates 250,000 people a day, plans to finish vaccinating most of its population by the end of March.

Reporter Myung Hyeong-joo pointed out what is leading Israel in vaccination.

Israel has the highest vaccination rate in the world.

The United States and the United Kingdom were the first to secure vaccines and start vaccines, but Israel is ahead of the actual vaccination rate.

In Israel, the vaccination rate per 100 people has exceeded 30%, and the vaccination rate for people aged 60 years and older, who are the main candidates for vaccination, is 75%.

The second vaccination of subjects who completed the first vaccination 3 weeks ago also proceeds smoothly.

Now I am at the vaccination site in Ramat Epal.

As you can see, many of you are waiting for a second injection of the Pfizer vaccine.

After the second vaccination, those awaiting vaccination are excited in the hope of being able to return to their daily lives.

This is because the Israeli government issued a “green passport” to citizens a week after the first and second vaccinations were completed, allowing them to escape all quarantine obligations.

Holders of a “green passport” with an online certificate can participate in public events such as cultural events.

Although vaccination is accelerating, Israel still has up to 10,000 new cases per day, extending the period of its third containment.

The reason why the vaccination rate increased in such a short time was due to meticulous pre-planning, such as ensuring early vaccination, rapid transportation system, and vaccination center.

In particular, a major vaccination campaign was carried out to make the vaccine reliable.

Israel, with an average of 250,000 people getting vaccinated a day, is now challenging a new goal of vaccinating all citizens over the age of 16 who can be vaccinated by the end of March.
