(ANSA) - TEL AVIV, 02 JAN - Israel gives the green light to the fourth dose of vaccine against Covid for all over 60s after 4 months from the recall.
This was announced by Prime Minister NaftaliBennet during a press conference.
"In my opinion, at the end of this week we will reach 20 thousand infections a day and at the peak of the wave it may be that we will exceed the threshold of 50 thousand. These are very high numbers. But from the world we have learned that if we are vaccinated we are protected from serious forms of disease also if we were infected, "he added.
Among other things, the premier was asked whether the country is heading towards 'herd immunity', but he preferred not to answer.
