It will be a valuable test case for the effectiveness of an extra jab against the delta variant of the coronavirus.
Israel has become the first nation in the world to provide a third shot of the Pfizer vaccine to people over 60 because of concerns about breakthrough cases of COVID-19 among the fully vaccinated. The move will make the nation a test case for the effectiveness of a booster shot against the raging delta variant. Israeli President Isaac Herzog, 60, received his third shot on Friday and urged others to follow his example. The third shot will only be given to those who had their second shot at least five months earlier. Israel’s COVID-19 cases have soared from some 20 daily cases last month to more than 2,000 a day currently, though hospitalizations and deaths have remained relatively low.More Related News
