Israel set to offer COVID-19 vaccine booster shots to under 60-year-olds

JERUSALEM: Israeli Health Ministry experts recommended on Thursday dropping from 60 to 50 the minimum age of eligibility for a COVID-19 vaccine booster, hoping to curb a rise in Delta variant infections.

But at least two major health providers have already said they would begin on Friday to schedule appointments for people in the 50-59 age group to get a third dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. But with the spread of the Delta variant across the globe, new infections jumped in Israel, reaching 5,946 on Monday, and serious illnesses have been increasing as well.

Isreal are the earliest with bad news about pifzer & delta. Isreal knows what they are doing ahead of the US.

I laugh at the west democracy model. Where's thr freedom and rights of individual? There's option of traditional safe vaccines in this world but the authority does not recognise them. Instead, it dictated its people to use vaccines which have potential health effect.
