Israel was initially evaluated for the new Coronavirus infection (COVID-19) and vaccine distribution approach, and was used as an example for convergence.But later, the complicated situation became clear.The number of new infected people has increased recordly, and new lockdowns have been extended until the end of January.On the other hand, there is inequality and political confusion behind this news.The United Nations has criticized Israel for refusing a vaccine to 4.5 million Palestinians living on the west coast of the Jordan and Gaza.
Hadas Jiv, the director of the Israeli Human Rights Doctor's Policy and Ethics, is a member of the expert team that made the Israeli government on vaccine policy.The Israeli Human Rights Doctor is also engaged in vaccination for prison capacity.We talked about the success and failures of vaccine distribution in Israel.

—— How can the Israeli people inoculate the vaccine?
Very easy.You will be notified by SMS that you have a vaccine qualification, and if you access a medical institution, you can immediately check if you are a target person.
Vaccination can be reserved on the Internet, and you can have a link to your mobile phone.These steps are very organized, and citizens can easily vaccine.
—— Is vaccination free?Did you have confusion or hurdles when you started vaccination?
The good side of Israel is that there is a public medical insurance system, and all people have health insurance.Except for some of the occupied Palestinians, refugees, and immigration workers, you can get insurance.
——Do you have any problems and refusal to vaccination?
I think the Israeli people generally trust vaccines.Some media have reported the theory of conspiracy, and some people are wondering if they should wait for the passage of the vaccine to find out.However, the fear of the new colon virus infection is greater than the effects of vaccination, and in fact, the safety of the vaccine has been publicized, and many people are convinced.
Certain communities, such as Jewish super orthodox and Arab community, have low reliability in the government and lack information.It is necessary to persuade both insurance systems and governments so that such communities people come to vaccination and can access information.
——It was seen as a model that supply vaccines quickly than other regions in the world.However, the number of cases increased and locked down was implemented again.This is the lesson in the role of vaccine when overcoming the pandemic of the new Corona?
Vaccination processes have good and bad points.Israel is the same as many other western countries.
