Rav Chaim Kanievsky said today that children over the age of five should be vaccinated against Covid. The statement came during a meeting at 23 Rechov Rashbam, Rav Chaim’s home in Bnei Brak, with senior medical officials and doctors, who told Rav Chaim that there is a rising number of cases of Covid in Israel.
Rav Chaim was also informed that the US Food and Drug Administration approved administering the Pfizer vaccine to children from the age of five.
At the meeting were Dr. Ran Balicer, the head of the national Magen Israel program for combating Covid; Covid czar Dr. Salman Zarka; and Dr. Mushlam Hart, Rav Chaim’s personal physician.
Balicer presented info to Rav Chaim regarding the vaccination of one million children in the United States and research on the effects of vaccinating children. “The health benefits and advantages to vaccinated children significantly outweigh risks and side-effects of the vaccine,” Balicer told Rav Chaim.
Rav Chaim, who said little during the meeting, responded that children over five should be vaccinated and gave a brocha to those who vaccinate to be healthy.

FYI- Rav Firer, does NOT reccomend the vaccine anymore, he says the industry lied to him, or didn’t tell him the all of the pertinent info, R”L
And what is the source of your info?
Wow. So now Matzav is censoring comments on this particular story and the people involved. How professional. Another classic hit & run piece by Matzav. Throw out a story, as if it’s Toras Moshe misinai, and then when readers try to clarify, you shut them down. No questions allowed. Mamesh like Biden. You little immature kinderlach should be ashamed of yourselves.
The absolute bezoyon that they make of a Talmid Chochom is astonishing. And of all people it’s his closest that lead in this.
