JERUSALEM, Dec. 1 (Xinhua) -- The latest figures of Israel's Center for Disease Control showed that only 1.3 percent of residents, or 96,772 people, have received the A/H1N1 vaccination, local daily The Jerusalem Post reported Tuesday.

    The figures came about a month after the first 350,000 doses became available in the country with a population of about 7 million, said the report, adding that many of those who were vaccinated work in the health system.

    The low level of vaccination indicated that the average Israeli does not seem interested in getting the shot, said the newspaper.

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is also health minister, has already ordered 7.3 million doses of A/H1N1 vaccine, enough for every resident in the country except for newborns.

    Meanwhile, Israeli Health Ministry said an 11-year-old girl, and two women aged 25 and 77, all suffering from serious chronic illnesses, died on Monday after being infected with the A/H1N1 virus, bringing the total number of death toll claimed by the global pandemic in the country to 63.

    Local health experts have warned that about one quarter of the total Israeli population would contract the virus during a possible outbreak this winter, among whom around 700 would die.
