In an interview tonight (Sunday) with “Here News”, the director general of the Ministry of Health, Prof. Hezi Levy, noted that today about 80,000 Israelis have been vaccinated, and since the beginning of the operation, more than 300,000 Israelis have been vaccinated so far. He added that “we are going to deploy more vaccine sites”.
In addition, he referred to the demand of the secretary general of the Teachers’ Union earlier today to vaccinate the teaching staff and said: “We are calculating 2 groups for each group. We are conducting contacts in order to increase the air train of importing vaccines into the country but as long as this is not decided we must drive carefully and vaccinate the populations at risk. No one is sacrificing the teachers. “
As you may recall, the Teachers’ Union has declared a labor dispute – demanding that all teaching staff be vaccinated immediately. The secretary general of the Teachers’ Union, Yaffa Ben-David, claimed: “If there are no vaccines, there will be no studies – we will not agree to abandon the health of the teaching staff.” The Teachers’ Union disables studies, including the distance learning system.
