CNN
More than three months after Israel started rolling out boosters, health officials say the data is clear: third shots have helped bring down the fourth wave of Covid-19 that swept the country in August and September.
Israel has been at the forefront of vaccination rollouts for adults and teenagers, pioneered a vaccine passport and, in recent months, has spearheaded the use of booster shots.
At the end of July, the country began offering boosters to those over the age of 60; since late August, boosters have been available to anyone over the age of 16, five months after their second dose of the vaccine.
