[국제]“Vaccine vaccination is better!”… No. 1 Israel, vaccination spur

[앵커]

Israel ranks first in the world with an overwhelmingly high vaccination rate per population, but it is tightening the reins and expanding vaccination more aggressively.

According to the judgment that the vaccination is effective, the policy is that the better it is, the better even one person gets it.

Israeli population of 6140 vaccinations per 100,000 people.

The inoculation rate exceeds 60% and remains the number one in the world.

The vaccination rate for those in the 50s and over is 77%, but Prime Minister Netanyahu has set a goal of raising it to 90% within the next two weeks.

So far, it is based on the evaluation that vaccination has suppressed the occurrence of elderly confirmed cases and reduced the number of severely ill patients.

The Israeli Ministry of Health is now expanding the targets to adults of all ages.

Recently, the target of vaccination was lowered once to the age of 35, and from the 4th of this month, the age of 16 to 34 was also included.

On the first day, there was a temporary failure in the reservation website due to the crowd of reservations, but after that, it has been smoothly.

The Israeli Ministry of Health is considering a’immune blind spot’ and is also considering a plan to include asymptomatic infections, which were excluded from priority vaccinations.

The international community is watching with interest in Israel’s progress in accelerating vaccination by claiming to be the’world’s immune laboratory’.
