Prof. Tzachi Grossman, Chairman of the Association of Pediatricians in Israel, expressed concern about this situation in the program of Anat Davidov on 103FM, And warned: “If no action is taken, this situation will continue to develop in the coming weeks”.

As long as there are people of parental age or caregivers who have not been vaccinated, the numbers will go up.”
“We are definitely insisting on this and demanding as much as possible (getting vaccinated),” the senior doctor added. “It is not up to us to oblige educational staff to be tested or vaccinated. The very need for this procedure, I believe, will bring these teams to immunization. I am whole with this kind of legislation, but we have a problem in a democracy with people who can petition against such legislation,” he continued. “We are limited in our ability, but we can tell parents to do their best to oblige the educational staff to get vaccinated.”
