The FDA has recommended vaccinating the third dose to those aged 65 and over and at-risk populations
The U.S. Panel of Pharmaceuticals's External Expert Panel last Friday discussed the recommendation for the third dose of Pfizer vaccine against 16-year-old Corona.
The head of the health services in Israel, Dr. Elrai Price, presented the efficiency data of the booster in Israel.
At the end of the panel of experts, it was decided not to recommend Pfizer's vaccine in the third dose for those aged 16 and over, ie the majority of the population.
The decision was made by a majority of 16 experts against two opponents.
The vote does not mean that the third dose is ineffective or unsafe, but that the committee members need more information.
Subsequently, all 18 members voted in favor of the recommendation to vaccinate in the third dose aged 65 and over and populations at increased risk.
This is however an emergency permit.

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett in an article for Economist magazine: "If we had waited with the vaccines, the hospitals would have been flooded"
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett published an article for a reputable magazine, in which he referred to the third-dose corona vaccination campaign. Asked if a booster can be given when there are countries in the world that have not yet vaccinated their citizens in the first instance, noting that "we believe it is essential to do what we can to save lives in our countries, working together as a global community to help developing countries fight the virus."

Palestinian report: Israel withdraws from the condition of rehabilitating the Gaza Strip with progress on the issue of prisoners and missing persons
A source in the terrorist organizations in Gaza told the Palestinian newspaper Al-Ayyam this morning that Israel had withdrawn from the condition of ending the issue of a prisoner exchange deal in exchange for the lifting of restrictions on the Gaza Strip and its rehabilitation.
Against the background of the search for the last two escaped prisoners who have not yet been apprehended, the source warned that "the situation of silence may pass with the wind if Israel enters an operation in any area in Judea and Samaria and especially in Jenin."
According to the report, the source said that in recent days a series of restrictions on the Gaza Strip have been lifted, including the possibility of importing construction materials and other materials that Israel has prevented from entering the Strip so far.
He said these measures had led to calm on the Gaza border in recent days.
