  • According to the Health Ministry, around half a million Israelis have been vaccinated against the corona virus in the last ten days.
  • On Sunday afternoon a third blockade took effect, which is initially supposed to last two weeks.
  • Meanwhile, the numbers of corona infection in Israel are at their highest level in three months.
  • The Health Ministry announced Tuesday that 5,449 new cases had been registered in 24 hours.

Vaccination capacities will be significantly increased, 150,000 people will be vaccinated per day, at this moment there are 60,000 people per day. “They want to use the third blockade to move this project forward,” says Gisela Dachs, a journalist from Tel Aviv.

The journalist sees the reason why so many elderly people want to be vaccinated in the loneliness of the people: “If you ask the elderly why they wanted to be vaccinated so quickly, they usually say because they are theirs. I want to hug the children again.” You would have enough of sitting alone at home or in nursing homes.

Sometimes there is a lack of long-term planning in Israel, but short-term projects are successful.

Gisela Dachs also explains that vaccines are so fast with experience proven by the Israeli crisis: “Sometimes there is a lack of long-term planning in Israel, but short-term projects are successful. It has been possible to establish a relatively large number of wards with a health system that really works preventively and has fewer beds compared to Europe. “

People in Israel are waiting to be vaccinated.

The fact that it goes so fast could also be because in some cases one cannot even sit at these vaccination stations. You will be vaccinated while standing. “And it also helps that the weather is nice and that you can vaccinate outside.”

The speed of vaccination in Israel also has to do with the rapid mobilization of people. For example, she herself was asked by SMS to voluntarily participate in a trial program to develop her own vaccine.

Desire to fly

The journalist sees another reason why many people in Israel are so willing to get vaccinated in air traffic. Flying is the only way out of Israel. ‘People want to fly again. You are safer when you are vaccinated. Or maybe it seems easier to fly again soon when I’m vaccinated. “
