The Health Ministry will destroy 800,000 vaccines worth hundreds of millions of dollars if no country agrees to purchase them in the next two weeks, the Kan public broadcaster reports.
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said during a meeting today with mayors and local council leaders that “it is simply a crime not to get vaccinated” before many vaccines expire on July 30, meaning people should take the first dose by July 9 to get both shots, according to Channel 12 news.
Meanwhile, Health Ministry data shows a renewed rise in daily cases, with 213 infections confirmed so far today — up from 145 yesterday.
There are now 1,425 active cases after the number was just 230 10 days ago. However, serious cases have continued to drop and are down to just 21.
One new death — the second in two weeks — takes the total toll to 6,430.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
