Why Israel took the lead?
Israel started vaccination on Dec. 19 last year. And deliver vaccines to 150,000 people a day, with the first group being people over 60 years of age And medically vulnerable people
Israel supplies vaccines Pfizer-Bion Tech After negotiations at the beginning of the outbreak It is now contacting the first group eligible for the vaccine through a health care system, according to a law that all Israeli citizens must register with a recognized health care provider.
Julie Edelstein Israeli health minister told YNet TV news that Israel divides safe delivery of Pfizer vaccine, which must be kept at -70 ° C, meaning small vaccines can be delivered to remote communities.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is currently campaigning for new elections, has estimated that Israel may be plagued by the epidemic as early as February. Israel is now in a third nationwide lockdown.
So why is France behind??
In the first three days of the campaign from Dec. 27, France vaccinated fewer than 100 people, compared with Germany Which injected more than 130,000 needles (as of Dec. 31, last year) European Union (EU) slower than the UK and the US in approving vaccines
European Medicines Organization (European Medicines Agency) Regulators of 27 EU states approved the Pfizer vaccine on Dec. 21, compared to the British approved on Dec. 2 and the U.S. approved on Dec. 11. C.
Part of the problem in France stems from widespread skepticism about vaccination. In a 15-country poll conducted by Ipsos Global Advisor, only 40% of French respondents said: Willing to be vaccinated Is considered a low number compared to China With up to 80% UK 77% and US 69%
Earlier this week The French health minister responded to the slow vaccination case, saying: The choice of vaccination in nursing homes for the elderly Rather than having the elderly travel to get vaccinated
however President Emmanuel Macron French leader Said in a hurrying tone, “I will not allow unjust slowness to come without justification.”
What is India doing??
India is organizing a national vaccination program. Which aims to reach 300 million people by the middle of this year Which must rely on the Oxford-Astrasenaga vaccine Which is now recommended by a government committee.
Like the Pfizer vaccine, Oxford vaccination does not require storage at very low temperatures. Therefore suitable for distribution to large hospital-free areas
