1.8 million Israelis got vaccinated against flu as virulent strain spreads

Fully 1.8 million Israelis have gotten vaccinated against the flu as a virulent strain spreads around the country.

Many did so for the first time in their lives this week, after three people died in recent days from the virus.

The rush on clinics has depleted the country’s vaccinations stockpile.

The Health Ministry says 50,000 more vaccines will become available tomorrow, and 100,000 more will arrive from overseas by next week.
