Every Holocaust survivor around the world should be vaccinated.
As the “Jüdische Allgemeine” reports, this is the goal of a campaign by the Israeli Ministry of Diaspora Affairs.
Minister Omer Yankelevich (Blue-White Alliance) commissioned the global Jewish volunteer organization Schalom Corps with the bureaucratic implementation of the vaccination campaign.
Donors are currently being sought for the program.
In addition, efforts are being made to support the two vaccine manufacturers Moderna and Pfizer.
Among other things, additional doses of vaccine should be purchased so that Israel's own vaccination campaign is not slowed down, and distributed to centers around the world.
Those who do not reach a vaccination center should be provided for through extra missions.
