Israel: From Innovation Nation to VacciNATION

The Coronavirus pandemic has stretched the international health-care community to its limits. While Israel is way ahead of the rest of the world in its vaccination campaign and has started rolling back its latest round of restrictions, with the promise of a “Green Pass” vaccination passport scheme for those vaccinated, infection rates are still high and the threat of a further lockdown over Passover weighs heavily.

Bar-Ilan University’s International School will host an online panel discussion with medical experts from Bar-Ilan and Meuchedet Health Fund at its second annual Attachés’ Conference.

The theme: Israel’s experience with and response to COVID-19, an unwavering vaccination strategy and its implementation, and a look at what lies ahead.

Date: Tuesday, March 16, 2021                  Time: 11:00 to 14:00 (Israel: GMT+2)

Although the live online conference is specifically for Attachés and other diplomatic representatives, the International School will broadcast it live on Facebook to enable everyone to benefit from this relevant and interesting discussion.
