Israelilla on ongelma - mitä tehdä jättierälle Pfizer BioNtechin rokotetta, jonka viimeinen käyttöpäivä on heinäkuun lopussa (onnistuuko vaihto toisen maan kanssa johonkin tulevaan rokote-erään)?
Muuten rajoituksia on hieman kiristetty (mm. tiukennetut rajakäytännöt matkailijoille, maskien käyttö takaisin sisätiloissa, Green Pass -käyttöön jne) ja rokotuksissa kolmas Booster -rokote mainittu.
During the meeting, ministers will be presented with proposals to drive down morbidity, which has climbed considerably in recent weeks, hitting around 300 cases per day. Experts have warned that the daily caseload could soar to 1,000 cases a day in two weeks if no steps to rein in the infections are taken.
With case numbers rising, Israel has thus far reimposed an indoor mask mandate, cracked down on travelers arriving from countries with high infection rates, and enforced quarantine for new arrivals more strictly, but has sought to avoid a return to the restrictions it had largely emerged from over the last two months.
The shifting vaccine policies come as the country races to inoculate preteens and teenagers ahead of the July expiration date on its vaccine supply.
Israel is seeking to swap its stockpile of Pfizer vaccines, which are slated to expire at the end of the month, in exchange for a future delivery that was destined for another country.
Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz said Sunday that Israel is in advanced talks with another country to broker a COVID vaccine swap deal.
“We have contacts with another country that I hope will come to fruition in the next few days,” Horowitz told Channel 13. The health minister declined to name the country, since the talks are still ongoing.
