The operation to administer the third dose of the corona vaccine began today (Monday) in Israel, so that Israel is the first country in the world to give another dose in addition to the two doses already given.

The decision was made in the Immunization Committee due to cumulative evidence that patients with immunosuppression do not develop an adequate antibody response after receiving only two doses, and some may develop antibodies after a third dose.



HMOs and hospitals have received a detailed explanation from the Ministry of Health regarding the criteria for immunosuppressants.

According to the guidelines, patients will be divided into two groups.

The first group is a group of heart, lung and kidney transplant recipients, in which a third dose can be vaccinated without the need for an antibody test before or after the third dose.

In the second group, including liver transplant recipients, patients suffering from a primary defect in the immune system and more - it is recommended to perform a serological test at least 14 days after the administration of the second vaccine and before the administration of the third dose.
