TEL AVIV, Israel: Dozens of asylum seekers and foreign workers in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv lined up to receive their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine on Tuesday as part of an initiative to inoculate the city’s foreign nationals.
Tel Aviv city hall and the Sourasky Medical Center started administering vaccines free of charge to the city’s foreign nationals, many of whom are undocumented asylum seekers.
On its first day of operation, the vaccination center in southern Tel Aviv, which is home to a large migrant community, dispensed doses to dozens of foreign nationals who lined up outside the building. Posters provided information in English, Tigrinya, Russian and Arabic. Recipients included foreign workers from the Philippines, Moldova, and Nigeria, as well as Sudanese and Eritrean asylum seekers.

When people enter, they register and get seated at a booth. Because the cathedral is so spacious, 12 people can be vaccinated at the same time. They are then monitored for adverse reactions. I didn t feel a thing, Morant told CBS News Roxana Saberi after getting her shot. Except it s cold, you know, when you re waiting. That s the only thing I can say!
