How Israel got vaccines to 9% of its population in less than 2 weeks – far more than any other country
Business Insider ^ | Dec 31, 2020 | Susie Neilson

Israel is far ahead of any other country in administering COVID-19 vaccines.

As of Thursday, the nation had administered 800,000 doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, meaning approximately 8.84% of its 9 million residents have gotten their first dose, according to Bloomberg's vaccine tracker. Health providers in Israel are administering doses to about 150,000 people per day.

Yonatan Adiri, who served as Chief Technology Officer to former Israeli president Shimon Peres, said he expects Israel will have "a fully vaccinated population" by the end of March. Adiri is now the CEO of Israeli health technology startup Healthy.io. He added that completing vaccinations for higher-risk groups should happen sooner β€” hopefully by the end of February.

"We expect 10% of the population to be vaccinated by this weekend, which will constitute 50% of all those at high risk and group #1," Adiri told Business Insider.

By contrast, the US had administered about 3.1 million vaccine doses by Thursday, covering .95% of its total population. The UK had administered doses to about 1.4% of its population.

8.84% x 9 million = 795,600 which is more than 3x’s lower does than the United States has given.

The US number also doesn’t reflect that at least one medical professional destroyed a batch of the vaccine.

Sarcasm I can’t help myself

Israel seems to be doing everything right.

50% of high risk people are expected to have their first shot by this weekend. 1.5% of the population getting immunized PER DAY.

With those high rates of vaccination, and effective prioritization, hospital COVID wards in Israel should be emptying out around the end of this month.

In percentage terms, Israel is ahead of any other Nation.

They have the first shot in the arm for about 10% of their population - the USA has about 1%.

That is a big factor, when it comes to achieving “Herd Immunity” to collapse the uncontrolled spread of the disease.

They have less than 10 million people in Israel, but there are about 330 million in the USA. So their total numbers are lower, even as their percentages are much higher.

You say this like it’s a good thin
Israel can keep the witches brew of mRNA trialed & tested on mice humanized with the immune systems of murdered children.

This vaccine is from the pit of hell

Israel is a compact country with a disciplined population. Having 9% injected in a short time should be a piece of cake.
