Authorities need to up their game with the nation’s teenagers or they could “lose” many of them to anti-vaxxer misinformation just as they become eligible for COVID-19 shots, a leading doctor has said.
In a Thursday interview with The Times of Israel, Prof. Shlomo Vinker spoke of his concern that the country isn’t adequately preparing to win hearts and minds for the teen vaccination drive due to start soon.

“We want to turn the ultra-Orthodox areas into [low-infection] areas,” said Rabbi Yossi Erlich, the head of the organization.
The vaccination programs received the backing of leading ultra-Orthodox Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, who has previously faced intense criticism for his handling of the pandemic and for rulings given to his followers.
He has instructed schools to open in defiance of government decisions on several occasions, leading hundreds of institutions to illicitly open their doors throughout the pandemic.
