“Go get vaccinated – and we will complete the job”: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Health Minister Yuli Edelstein visited the vaccination complex at the Tel Aviv Expo today (Monday). They met the “5 million vaccinated”, Janet Lavie-Azoulay (34), who is pregnant.
Prime Minister Netanyahu referred to the status quo as a “tremendous and not an obvious achievement.” “In order to keep our economy open and there will be no further closures – and there will not be because we all abide by the rules – we are already working on bringing in tens of millions more vaccines. “Pfizer and Moderna estimate that a vaccine for children will be approved soon,” he said.
He said, “There is a tremendous achievement here for the State of Israel, the first to emerge from the Corona. What is left is to vaccinate another million citizens over the age of 16. In our estimation, we will finish doing so by the end of April.

“It’s very pleasant sometimes to make a mistake,” Edelstein said. “A few weeks ago, when someone said in the ministry: ‘We will do this when we reach 5 million vaccinated,’ I said: ‘Equal value, I’m not sure we will reach 5 million vaccinated.’ And here, this is an opportunity to say goodbye to Israeli citizens.”
“Thanks to these vaccines we can open up almost everything: the economy, culture, sports, leisure and tourism,” he stated. “The continued opening of the economy depends only on us: it depends on a few hundred thousand more who come to be vaccinated and keep the guidelines – mask, distance and keeping the rules of the green mark. “.
