In Israel, the third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine will be available to people over 1 from August 60, local media reported on Thursday. It is to be a preparation from Pfizer / BionTech.
An additional vaccination campaign is set to help fight the spreading highly infectious variant of the coronavirus, Delta.
Radio Kan and the TV station Chanel 13 informed that the director general of the Ministry of Health of Israel, prof. Hezi Lewi has already told the management of medical facilities in which the Pfizer vaccine was administered that they can start vaccinating the so-called booster dose in people over 60 years of age.

Pfizer said Wednesday it believes an additional third dose of the vaccine will help maintain effective protection against COVID-19. The American company also claims that emergency vaccination with the third dose will probably be authorized in early August in the USA.
Since June, when the Delta variant began to spread in Israel, the country’s ministry of health has already seen a two-fold decline in vaccine effectiveness in protecting against infection, as well as against severe COVID-19 cases.
