  • (singer singing in foreign language)

  • - [Narrator] People dancing shoulder to shoulder

  • while listening to live music in a stadium.

  • (upbeat music) (crowd clapping)

  • During the pandemic, scenes like these have been rare

  • to say the least.

  • - Wow, it's great, it feels great.

  • Back to life.

  • - [Narrator] 500 people were able to attend this event

  • in Tel Aviv as long as they could prove

  • that they had been vaccinated against COVID

  • by showing a QR code and an ID.

  • It's part of a so-called green pass system,

  • which is also accepted by gyms,

  • museums, bars and restaurants

  • as authorities want to demonstrate

  • that getting COVID shots gives access

  • to gatherings and public events.

  • As of early March, more than half of Israel's population

  • had received at least one dose of the vaccine,

  • a greater share than any other country.

  • But a recent survey found that 25% of Israelis

  • had no plans to take the vaccine.

  • - Did you guys get vaccinated?

  • - [Narrator] To convince them, volunteers

  • have been walking around

  • and touting the benefits of immunization.

  • And health workers are offering freebies

  • that include free drinks, pizza

  • and tickets to basketball games

  • for those that get the vaccine.

  • - If everybody will take the vaccine,

  • we can open all the stores,

  • we can open all the business

  • and it's very important for the economy.

  • - [Narrator] Israel is going to extremes

  • to reach its goal of vaccinating everyone over 16

  • by the end of March and reopen its economy

  • as quickly as possible.

  • (whistle blowing)

  • - Today we are spreading awareness

  • for everybody to get vaccines.

  • - [Narrator] Ali Greenfield is a volunteer medic.

  • At this market in Jerusalem,

  • she helps spread the word

  • by encouraging people to get vaccinated

  • at a nearby bar where other volunteers

  • were also offering drinks.

  • - The idea here is for them to come to the bar,

  • they'll then receive a drink,

  • a non-alcoholic drink

  • in return for getting vaccinated.

  • There you go.

  • - [Narrator] By early March,

  • the majority of people aged 50 and above

  • had been fully vaccinated

  • while less than half of the population under 40

  • had received their first dose.

  • Those who say they are wary

  • of taking the vaccine cite different reasons.

  • According to a survey, 41% of people

  • who hadn't yet been vaccinated

  • said they feared side effects

  • and 30% said they weren't sure the vaccine was effective.

  • One issue health workers are focused on

  • is vaccine misinformation, stressing to people

  • that vaccines have gone through clinical trials

  • before being authorized by local authorities.

  • - People have a lot of fears

  • 'cause they hear a bunch of things

  • from different friends or different news channels

  • that aren't necessarily true.

  • - To help with that, we have volunteers

  • who are out and around in the market explaining

  • to people the importance, answering questions

  • and actually bringing them here.

  • - [Narrator] Some campaigns focus on the ultra-orthodox

  • and Arab communities where some have been skeptical

  • of the vaccination program.

  • The government has also set up a taskforce

  • to fight vaccine misinformation,

  • like these employees are doing here

  • in Israel's Health Ministry control room.

  • And in some cases, it seems to be working.

  • (speaking in foreign language)

  • - [Narrator] In Holon, a suburb south of Tel Aviv,

  • volunteers at this popup clinic offer goodie bags

  • and free basketball tickets to the first 5,000 people

  • to get vaccinated.

  • - We're trying to do our best to give the people the idea

  • to come and take the vaccine.

  • - [Narrator] Around 85% of Holon's residents

  • had already been vaccinated

  • at the beginning of March.

  • One reason Israel is pushing its vaccination program so hard

  • is that it's crucial to the country's plan

  • to reopen its economy quickly.

  • - The fact that Israel has been so fast

  • in vaccinating it residents

  • also means we will probably be the fastest

  • in reopening our market.

  • - [Narrator] Citizens who have been inoculated

  • can register for Israel's green pass system,

  • which is meant to help the country reopen safely

  • and allow activities like indoor dining to resume.

  • - [Man] The green passport essentially says

  • if you've been vaccinated twice,

  • you have access to all these places.

  • - Some other countries, including Saudi Arabia

  • and the EU have said they were considering similar systems

  • for people who had gotten their vaccines.

  • But critics have raised questions

  • on whether the strategy could result

  • in a two-speed system

  • with potentially unequal access

  • to some public services and travel.

  • Israel says the system isn't affecting access

  • to essential services.

  • (upbeat music)

  • - For the first time,

  • we are allowed to have a rock concert

  • but the restrictions still apply.

  • So only 500 people can attend this show.

  • There are 30,000 seats and 500 people.

  • - [Narrator] But green passes are allowing people

  • to take cautious steps towards normalcy.

  • - The green pass program is great.

  • It feels like things are starting to open up

  • and getting back to what we were used to awhile ago.

  • (upbeat music)
