The Ministry of Health said Tuesday that since the vaccination campaign in Israel began less than two weeks ago, nearly 500,000 have already been admitted but it appears most of them live in cities large, where the stage of the disease is moderate.

According to the rules of the ministry, the first categories of population that need to be vaccinated are medical teams, people over 60 and those with underlying health conditions who are 16 years or older.
The Ministry of Health said Tel Aviv reported that one in five people over 60 have already received their first dose. At least 11% of all those who received the vaccine were under 60. Twelve children under the age of nine had already received nine strokes and 1,753 children aged 9-19 had also received the injection.
On Monday, 115,000 people were vaccinated, putting Israel first among nations in vaccinated civilians each.

Meanwhile, disease levels continued to rise, with 5,449 new COVID infections per day, the highest number since Israel released its second lockout in October.
As morbidity spreads, only one city in the center of the country boasts a mortality low enough to be marked as green, namely Kfar Yona.
