The country has 82% of the population vaccinated Israeli President: to become a laboratory of herd immunity

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in an online meeting at the World Economic Forum on 27th that Israel is in a race with the virus and that 82% of the country’s population has been vaccinated and the goal is 95% of the population to become a global laboratory for herd immunity.

The World Economic Forum’s flagship annual meeting, the Davos Forum, was held online this year because of the Epidemic, and Israeli Prime Minister Natanyahu said there is an “arms race” between vaccines and mutated viruses. “He revealed that 82% of the Israeli population is currently vaccinated against Wuhan pneumonia (novel coronavirus disease, COVID-19).

Natanyahu stressed that there is still a small distance to go before the target 95% of the population is vaccinated, which is still a difficult task. He believes that the Wuhan pneumonia virus is continuing to mutate, and that the race between humans and the virus will continue for years, and that pharmaceutical companies will have to develop new versions of the vaccine to combat the emerging mutations, and that people are afraid of annual vaccinations.

Natanyahu expressed the hope that Israel can be a global “herd immunity laboratory” so that the world can see the recovery of economic activity through vaccination.
