A vaccine center will open in Dizengoff Square and will be running regularly during the evenings from Tuesday until the end of August, the Tel Aviv municipality has announced, as a part of its expansion of vaccination activities in the area in collaboration with the Health Ministry.

The center will operate from Sunday-Thursday and on Saturday from 7 p.m. until 2 a.m. On Friday, the vaccination complex will operate from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The vaccinations in Dizengoff will be provided by the Novolog healthcare services company.

Vaccines can be given to the following people:

  1. Those aged 50 and up - the first, second, or third doses
  2. Under the age of 50 - the first or second dose
  3. Non-resident Israeli citizens will also be able to receive a dose
  4. Vaccines for boys and girls aged 12-17.

Recipients do not need to make an appointment but must arrive at the vaccination site with some form of identification.

Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai said that "we are part of the national effort to combat the coronavirus and the best way to do so is to get vaccinated. Everyone can and should get vaccinated in the square – and I call on the city's residents and many visitors to do so as soon as possible."

A COVID-19 testing site at Rabin Square has been operating by the Tel Aviv municipality for several months in partnership with IDF Home Front Command, providing over 1,500 tests per day. This center will continue to operate alongside the vaccination center.
