Link to form that needs to be filled out within 48 hours of flight to Israel

Accordingly, the FINAL criteria For entering Israel are as follows - you must meet ONE of these conditions in order to enter Israel:

1. Vaccinated within 180 days of the trip with either a second vaccine or a booster and it must be at least 14 days after the shot.

2. Recovered within 180 days of the trip with DIGITAL proof of a positive PCR result and more than 11 days have passed since the positive result. This type of proof only exists in the EU. The UK will likely have it as well.

3. Recovered anytime – even more than 180 days before the trip - with DIGITAL proof of positive PCR result AND vaccinated with at least one dose within 180 days of the trip. Again at the moment the digital proof only exists in the EU and possibly the UK shortly.

Your vaccination or recovery CANNOT expire while in Israel, which means you may not be in Israel more than 180 days after your vaccine or recovery have expired.

CONSEQUENCES FOR VIOLATING THE TERMS OF ENTRY: VIOLATION OF ANY OF THE ABOVE CRITERIA CAN MEAN SANCTIONS INCLUDING BARRING YOUR ENTRY TO ISRAEL FOR 5 YEARS.

Breaking news!!
After much effort and with great Siyata Dishmaya, the Igud has just been informed by  the Population and Immigration Authourity, that all students that have been here this year that have been vaccinated or have a certificate of recovery who went home for Pesach,
WILL BE ALLOWED BACK AFTER PESACH Bez”H
(Unless there is a serious change in the pandemic statistics.)
Every student must have

Regarding new Students who are coming after Pesach we will be finding out details in the next few days.

Can a US citizen student that has a positive antibody test result from lab in Israel get a Certificate of Recovery?

I have posted at least once before (with a link and screenshot) that it is not currently possible. The exception to that might be if said student is a member of Kupat Cholim in Israel and will have a Kupat Cholim doctor issue said certificate.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Does anybody have any experience how to get this done thru Kupat Cholim for a US student.

You never tested positive (PCR) in Israel and then did an antibody test in Israel and got a תעודת מחלים from MADA?

What's the procedure to get it?

On another note, I know someone (Israeli citizen living in Australia) who will be coming to Israel this week and would like to get vaccinated. Is there any way to get the first dose immediately or while quarantining?

I got a תעודת מתחסן after being vaccinated thru MADA, no idea about תעודת מחלים.

about your second question, they plan to start to a vaccine center at the airport, until then there is no other option if you don't have kupat cholim.

So your answer
I got a certificate from MADA.

Was irrelevant. As the question wasn't about vaccine, but about getting a certificate based on an Israeli antibody test.

OK, I thought it was about certificates in general.

In fact having Kupat Cholim makes once much worse off because the Kuppa will know  the person is supposed to be in quarantine. Without Kupa the system isn't synced and it's easier to evade detection.

Not according to what it says on Kupat Cholim website or pikud haoref website.

So the question is, could a person landing in EY head straight to one of the MADA vaccine sites and actually get a vaccine, or will entering their T.Z. number raise a flag due to the fact that they had to fill out a quarantine form prior to boarding the flight?

Simpler is they can give vaccine at the airport and then schedule second dose via Kupah system in your neighbored.
If the can pull this off this would be one big success.
