This weekend the country’s health ministry announced that teenagers between the ages of 16 and 18 are now eligible for the vaccine.

In all, Israel has vaccinated about 2.5 million out of its approximately 9 million citizens since beginning its drive in late December, the ministry said Friday.

At the same time, the country is in the midst of a strict third national lockdown due to a recent sharp spike in COVID cases.

The health ministry reported that 7,316 new cases were confirmed Friday. Earlier in the week, the new case number peaked at over 10,000, a record.

The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is a U.S. Government funded database that tracks injuries and deaths caused by vaccines.

Currently, data from the two experimental mRNA COVID injections [Pfizer and Moderna] that have been reported for a two week period from the end of December through January 13, 2021, shows 7,844 cases, including 181 deaths.
