JERUSALEM, July 27 — Israel is considering giving a third shot of the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine to its elderly population even before FDA approval in order to help fend off the Delta coronavirus variant, a health official said yesterday.
“On the one hand we want to see that it is safe and effective and to rely on our data examining whether there really is waning immunity, and on the other hand there is an outbreak and we want to stop this outbreak.” Since the Delta variant began spreading in Israel in June, the health ministry has twice reported a drop in the vaccine’s effectiveness against infection and a slight decrease in its protection against severe disease.
A decision should be made in the coming weeks, Ash said, and it would likely affect people either 60- or 70-years-old and up, the high-risk group first to get the jab when Israel began its vaccination drive in December.Some experts said Israel should wait a little longer to receive more information about safety and effectiveness of a third shot.
