In Israel, one million people have already received the first vaccine against the coronavirus, which is 10% of the country’s population. This is the first state in the world to vaccinate such a part of its citizens.
This was reported by the Times of Israel. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the vaccination site in the city of Umm al-Fahm and was present during the vaccination of the country’s millionth citizen.
However, it is noted that Arab residents, who make up 20% of the population, are not as willing to get vaccinated, which is why Netanyahu has planned a series of visits to places where Arab communities live, including the city of Umm al -Fahm. You have not visited these places for several years.
Israel has had approximately 420,000 confirmed COVID-19 infections since the start of the pandemic, according to Hopkins University.
