Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, one of the most senior haredi (ultra-Orthodox) rabbis in the world, said that children over the age of five should be vaccinated against corona, a ruling that should bolster the vaccination drive among young children in the haredi sector.
The
rabbi, 93, met at his Bnei Brak home on Thursday with senior medical
officials and doctors, who informed him of new developments regarding
the vaccine, rising case numbers, and the recent approval by the US Food
and Drug Administration for administering the Pfizer vaccine to
children from the age of five.
Of
the haredi population, 678,000 are age 0-19 of whom 200,000 are five to
11, so the vaccination drive for this cohort is of high importance for
the national child vaccination drive in general.
