Members of the epidemic treatment team will meet again today (Wednesday) to discuss a third-dose vaccine for the elderly, after two discussions that have already taken place and ended without a decision on the issue.
In view of the increase in morbidity, the Ministry of Health would like to receive a recommendation for the additional vaccine, however they know that the committee members are divided in their opinion, even though there is a majority that supports the course.
Health officials explained to Walla!
Because it's time to vaccinate the elderly.
"The increase in serious illness in the last two days is very worrying. If we wait any longer, we may lose people. We have reached a point where the chance outweighs the risk," said one of them.
The director general of the Ministry of Health, Prof. Nachman Ash, addressed the issue today and said that the ministry is considering the move. "We will make a responsible decision.
We look at it from different angles to see if there is a decline over time.
"Because we were the first to be vaccinated extensively - we have no one to learn from."

Team members will also have to decide on the age threshold for vaccination, with the discussion revolving around whether to vaccinate those aged 60 and over or only those aged 70 and over, who are at the highest risk threshold.
"Since the decision has not yet been made in the FDA, it would have been better if we had more research to test the efficacy and safety. In the disease state, it is not clear if we have even three weeks to wait. , ”Noted one senior.

The decision to bypass the regulatory authority in the United States raises serious concerns, but there are ample findings that vaccine efficacy declines among those aged 60 and over who received the vaccine six months ago, with the highest risk of severe coronary heart disease and even death from the deadly virus.
According to the Ministry of Health, the protection against serious illness is maintained at 91% against the Delta strain, but the protection against infection drops below 40%.
The risk in Israel is double because many believe they have nothing to fear because they received the vaccine and therefore do not adhere to the rules of social distance and masks, but the findings show that the vaccine does not protect hermetically as before.
