Postcard from Israel: Leaders in vaccinations, but are they lifting lockdown too early? Anshel Pfeffer
The Jerusalem basketball arena, Israel’s largest indoor sports venue, has been closed to fans for nearly a year now. Eight weeks ago, it was reopened to the public for a different purpose. The country’s two largest healthcare providers transformed the arena into a massive
Covid-19 vaccination centre, with the wide passages where sports-goers would once queue for hot dogs filled with little blue booths.
At the turnstiles, arrivals swipe their health-fund membership cards and within minutes are whisked through to one of the booths where, after a few perfunctory questions, they’re given the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. Those who have just had their first dose are automatically allocated an appointment for their second in three weeks’ time.
