PM Netanyahu: It seems that Israel will start vaccinating children even before the great freedom

by

“We will finish the vaccinations during March or the beginning of April,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Israel Today in an interview today (Wednesday) and will be published in full on Friday in the “Israel Hashavua” supplement.

He said, “These are vaccines for the adult population. Then the vaccines for children will come. I guess they will be approved during April-May, and we will get these vaccines right after that. We are already in touch with the two big companies. I have personal relationships with their CEOs.” Either it will be the same vaccine – or a tailored vaccine. There will also be vaccines that are adapted to the various mutations that develop. We are negotiating tens of millions of vaccines. “

Asked at what age children can get the vaccine, the prime minister said: “At least 12 years old. It should be approved in April. The vaccines will arrive shortly after approval. There is a good chance that during the big holiday the children will be vaccinated. And this Passover – we are all vaccinated.”

In February last year, Prime Minister Netanyahu held a background call, then said that there was a new virus, corona, that was about to attack us. He said it would be long and hard. A year later, the obvious question is how much longer will we be around with this thing. There are vaccines, but when do you take off the masks?

Netanyahu: “The masks? It will take more time. The children are a quarter of the population of Israel. We will have to develop another capability. We live in the age of viruses. I made sure that the State of Israel will be the world leader. Not only by procurement – for the next vaccine By producing the vaccines in the country. I talk to the CEOs of the two companies, Pfizer and Moderna, about two vital factories. I want Israel to be a leader in this field as well. To make Israel a necessary link in the global supply chain of vaccines. “
