Children vaccinated during school in Israel

Adults over the age of 12 will be vaccinated against coronavirus during school hours from September 1 in Israel, The Times of Israel reports.

In addition, the permission of the parents will be required for vaccination.

The Israeli Minister of Education agreed as it allows the new school year to start on time.

In addition, for school teachers and other staff, the so-called green pass system will be activated. They will only be able to work if they do not have a vaccination certificate or a negative coronavirus test.

Last week, a third, so-called booster dose of Pfizer vaccine against the coronavirus was given to people over the age of 40 in Israel. Before that, only those over 60 could be prescribed the so-called "booster" dose.
