At present, Ben-Zaken said 80 percent of the total population of Israel has been vaccinated. As a result, Israel has officially dropped its outdoors face mass policy on April 18, after inoculating more than half of its population with Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines.

The government is contemplating on adopting Israel’s interventions on increasing public uptake, which is to provide incentives for vaccine recipients and restrictions for those who are yet to get COVID-19 jabs.

The NTF head said Israel’s method allows people who have received the jabs to increase their mobility and slowly return to normalcy, while those who have not been vaccinated will still need to follow quarantine protocols.
