Daily Trust - COVID-19: 75-year-old man dies after receiving vaccine

Health Ministry director-general Chezy Levy has launched an investigation into the incident. “We share in the grief of the family,” he said in a statement. The man was inoculated at around 8:30 a.m. at a Clalit Health Services clinic. He stayed at the facility, as is customary, for a short period of time to ensure he had no side effects. When he felt well, the clinic released him. The initial findings do not show a link between the man’s death and his vaccination, Levy said. When Pfizer presented its safety data to the US Food and Drug Administration in early December, it was found that two trial participants had died after receiving the vaccine. One of the deceased was immunocompromised, meaning the person’s immune defenses were low.

(Yonatan Sindel/Flash90) Israel is closing in on half a million vaccinated, Health Minister Yuli Edelstein said Monday night, as it continues to accelerate the rate at which it is inoculating citizens against COVID-19. Health Ministry figures Tuesday morning confirmed this, putting the number vaccinated at 495,000 more than 1 in 20 Israelis. Israel began its vaccination drive on December 20, focusing on healthcare workers, over 60s, and at-risk groups, and is leading the world in vaccinations per capita. A record 99,000 people were vaccinated on Sunday, bringing the national total to 379,000, and Edelstein indicated that a new record of over 100,000 were given shots on Monday.

Health minister: Wretched decision to keep schools open will extend lockdown

55 shares Israeli students arrive at a high school in the southern Israeli city of Ashdod, November 29, 2020. (Flash90) Health Minister Yuli Edelstein on Sunday condemned Knesset lawmakers for voting to allow all schools to remain open during the third national lockdown, saying the decision would only prolong the closure. Under the original terms for the lockdown proposed by the government, preschools, grades 1-4 and grades 11-12 were to have a full day of classes as usual, but grades 5-10 were to stay at home and use distance learning instead. However, the Knesset Education Committee convened on Sunday and voted to overturn the regulations, thereby keeping all students in the classroom.

Lockdown Debate Turns into Partisan Spat

(Avshalom Sassoni/FLASH90) A debate over whether the schools should be exempt from the latest coronavirus shutdown turned into another political spat between the Likud and Blue and White parties on Sunday. The Likud accused Blue and White of “endangering the lives of Israeli citizens” and seeking to “disrupt the lockdown for political reasons to prolong the closure during the election.” The statement was in response to Blue and White’s support for a Knesset measure allowing grades 5 to 10 to fully reopen, which its own MKs had voted to keep closed in the cabinet.
