(ANSAmed) - TEL AVIV, DECEMBER 27 - While the data on Covid infections in Israel are becoming increasingly worrying, the health minister has today reduced the minimum amount of time that must elapse between the administration of the second dose of Pfizer vaccine and the third, namely the 'booster': previously it was possible to receive the third vaccination only five months after the second one, now this period is reduced to just three months.
"The data of the contagion in Israel and in the world indicate a net increase in Covid in general and in the Omicron variant in particular", the ministry noted. "Now there is a need to raise the level of immunity in the population in the shortest time possible."
The ministry noted that other countries, such as Great Britain, Germany and France are also moving in the same direction.
