JERUSALEM, Nov 23 — Israel began rolling out Pfizer/BioNtech Covid-19 vaccinations for five- to 11-year-olds on Monday hoping to beat down a recent rise in coronavirus infections.
The children’s vaccine drive kicked off on Monday in a Tel Aviv square, where a small number of parents quietly lined up with their children to get shots. The campaign will go nationwide on Tuesday. Israel’s 9.4 million population is relatively young, with around 1.2 million children in the five-to-11 age group. By November, that group comprised more than a third of new cases, according to health ministry data. Scientists and officials have been doubtful the country can reach “herd immunity” unless children are vaccinated.
Israel’s health ministry estimates that one in 3,500 children infected with the coronavirus will later develop Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children in which parts of the body become inflamed, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, skin and gastrointestinal organs. Most children who suffer from the condition require intensive care treatment and 1-2 per cent die.
