Israel was hit hard by the Covid-19 pandemic – it reported over 831,000 infections. But in just a few months, after launching a mass vaccination campaign, life is “back to normal”.
As of March 15, according to the World Health Organisation, 9.7 million vaccine doses had been administered in Israel. A total of 5.18m people, which is over half the population, have received at least one dose. A “green pass” has since been introduced allowing vaccinated people exclusive access to gyms, hotels and theatres and concerts.
Kiwi expat Jeremy Ross, who moved to Israel in 2007, received his second vaccine dose in January, a month after the programme launched.
“This is the end of the road for us … we’re at the end of the tunnel, this is it, the light is here,” Ross said.
