Gaza / Ramallah: After the vaccination mandate of workers and many students and offer prize money to encourage skeptical people to get Jab, Palestinian officials report a big boost in the absorption of the vaccine they hope will stem the surge in Covid-19 infection.
Officials in Gaza and the West Bank who were occupied by Israel announced new rules last week after many vaccines were shunned because of the wrong information online – even when the authority gathered quite a dose to cover most Palestinians more than 12.
Besides Jab for public sector workers and they were in Jobs that deal with the public, as well as teachers and students above 15, Gaza now offers an opportunity at $ 200, a large number for Palestinians in poor areas for anyone who is inoculated.
Ten winners are chosen every day.
More Palestinians in Gaza have taken vaccines in the past week around 133,000 than throughout the period six months before, spokesman for the Ministry of Health Ashraf Al-Qidra said.
The West Bank has registered similar leaps in vaccination.
Samer Al-Asad, officials of the Ministry of Health of the Palestinian Authority (PA) in the West Bank, associated the increase in absorption with “the wishes of the people to return to normal life …
vaccines are the only way and the shortest way to curb the spread of the spread of the virus.” Despite the recent encouragement, only 19.5% of Palestine in Gaza and 41% in the West Bank were vaccinated, according to data from the Ministry of Health PA.
Officials personally worry about the current increase will eventually tap.
New infections in the West Bank and Gaza have surged since the global emergence of Delta variant which is very contagious from Coronavirus.
PRI A Health Official began to provide a vaccine in the West Bank School this week to maintain momentum.
In one school in Dura Village, near Hebron, 11th grade Youssef Sharif said he trusted the science behind Jab.
“Scientists will not do anything unless they are sure of it.
In my opinion, everyone must be vaccinated,” he said.
At the Gaza vaccination center, Hassan Al-Farana said he was initially skeptical but decided to get Jab after several family members did it.
“We have been vaccinated, and we find it harmless,” said 43-year-old Palestinians.
