Experts in Israel today (Saturday) strengthened the Ministry of Health's position regarding the provision of the third vaccine against corona for those aged 12 and over, following the decision of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to recommend vaccinating only those aged 65 and over and at risk.

It was also stated that the decision is not expected to affect the green label policy.

The FDA Expert Forum voted unanimously tonight to recommend vaccinating the booster only to the populations at highest risk for serious illness, including health and education workers in the country.

This, after an initial vote that decided by a majority of 16 to two - not to recommend for the time being to vaccinate the entire population over the age of 16 with a booster.

"In the United States, as in many countries, it is clear what we have seen here and seen in hospitals: the protection afforded by the vaccine fades over time and a complementary dose is required. This is not an unusual matter, many routine vaccines are given in several doses."

"The vaccine is safe and very effective," Horowitz clarified, "so in the United States they will start vaccinating those 65-plus and those in risk groups (like diabetes or high blood pressure) at all ages and medical and education teams at all ages. "The United States is joining a series of countries that are already giving or preparing for a third vaccine: Britain, Germany, France, Finland, Argentina, Canada, Austria, Greece, and Israel."

Prof. Eran Segal of the Weizmann Institute explained that the decision in the United States "is consistent with the conclusions from Israel regarding the attenuation of the vaccine and the need for the third dose, and supports the policy here of the expiration of the green label six months after the first two doses."

Segal further clarified that "for evidence, the FDA recommends vaccinating people 65 and older and health care workers."
