In Meuhedet, the Ministry of Health recommends considering giving a green label only two weeks after the second dose of the vaccine.

This is in light of a data analysis of 100,000 vaccines at the HMO, which showed that the risk of contracting the virus is high in the first two weeks after vaccination, but decreases sharply after 14 days.

The findings show that out of 102,150 vaccinated in the second dose, 459 people were diagnosed in Corona, which is 0.45% of the vaccinated.

It was found that 254 of them were diagnosed in the first week after vaccination and 122 in the second week.

In the next three weeks, 41–21 patients were diagnosed each week.

The data showed that 82% of patients after a second vaccination are diagnosed within 14 days.

The risk of infection is 0.2% after one week of vaccination (the current situation) and has been sharply reduced to 0.08% after two weeks from the second vaccination day.

"We found 122 people who walked around with a green mark and were diagnosed this week. The reduction in risk between the first and second week is very significant," says Dr. David Mosinson, vice president of medicine at United.

"Removing the limits of social distance and applying the green label on the eighth day of receiving the second vaccine is too early, and may cause additional waves of illness. "In fact, they contracted the virus even before their bodies developed a high level of immunity. In fact, although they were indeed careful and vaccinated with the extra dose, they are sick with corona - and may infect those around them."

Dr. Mosinson emphasizes that “God forbid it is not necessary to cancel the reliefs, but only to postpone their application to vaccinated until the beginning of the third week from the date of receiving the additional vaccine and not to settle for a waiting period of only one week receiving the second vaccine.

Our conclusion is that you are responsible not only for your personal health, but also for the environment.

You are not completely protected and may be infected.

You have a personal responsibility to the environment. "

Defining a vaccine for corona after 14 days also came up in a discussion of the Corona Vaccine Vaccine Advisory Committee at the Ministry of Health, but there it was decided to stick to Pfizer's definitions and determine that a vaccine is one who has passed seven days after his second vaccine.

Dr. David Dvir, director of the primary medicine department at the fund and a member of the advisory committee, said: “The committee did not yet have the full data, but there were data that showed this trend from the hospitals.

If a decision is not made to change the date of granting the green label at the state level, I believe that in light of the findings, everyone should consider managing their personal risks. "

"A person who was vaccinated a week ago and goes to grandparents should know that there is a chance he is endangering them so it is better to avoid it for another week than to go and increase the risk of morbidity in older people. .
