Health Ministry releases 45,000 flu vaccines amid shortage

Responding to the shortage in flu vaccines, the Health Ministry says it is transferring 45,000 vaccines to three major health funds — Clalit, Meuhedet and Leumit.

Israelis have rushed to vaccinate themselves and their children after three people died in recent days from a virulent strain of flu.

Clalit says over a million of its members have received vaccines this season.
