King David vaccinates on site

After an overwhelmingly positive response from parents, Hatzolah partnered with King David schools last week to vaccinate pupils against COVID-19 on site. The service, for students aged 12 to 17, was administered voluntarily, with parental consent.

Vaccination sites were set up at King David Primary School Sandton, King David Linksfield, and King David Victory Park. The sites were run by qualified, experienced nurses from Hatzolah, and King David social workers were present to monitor the situation and given any necessary support.

A webinar for parents was also hosted, in which medical experts discussed the psychological and medical considerations in vaccinating children.
