In the video: Vaccinated in Tel Aviv after the FDA decision (Walla! NEWS system)
The decision of the Expert Forum Advising the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) last night (Friday) to wait with the recommendation for the third vaccine against Corona for the entire population created a sense of confusion in Israel.
The Ministry of Health was quick to clarify that the operation would continue as normal, but would have to take the public concern and the considerations of the experts seriously.
What is behind the decision, how does it affect those who managed to get vaccinated in the third dose or made an appointment, and what considerations led the advisory forum to approve a recommendation for those aged 65 and over only?
Walla!

Vaccinated in the shadow of the partial recommendation for the third course: "I do not believe they would endanger us"

I was vaccinated for the third time.
Should I be apprehensive?
No.
Israeli experts my husband said in a conversation with Walla!
Because there is nothing to fear at all.
Although the FDA advisory forum has decided not to recommend a third-dose vaccine for the general population over the age of 16, this is not necessarily due to risks from the vaccine.
The experts even recommended vaccinating not only those aged 65 and over but also the medical staff and anyone at high risk of becoming infected in the workplace.
The experts we spoke to recommend that every vaccinated adult over the age of 16 be vaccinated with a third dose.
Could the FDA's decision affect vaccination policy in Israel?
Not drastically or significantly.
"The FDA validated the third vaccination campaign that began in Israel," the Ministry of Health commented.
The decisions of the Expert Forum are not binding on Israel, and at this stage are merely recommendations.
Israeli experts emphasize that there is no one absolute truth for the whole world and that every country makes decisions according to its epidemiological conditions.
However, following the decision, Israel may need to update its green label policy.

I have an appointment for the vaccine today, cancel?
No.
The vaccination campaign continues as usual, and the complexes operate throughout the country without change.
The Ministry of Health has presented the FDA with research data on vaccine decline and increased protection after a third vaccine, which are said to be convincing.
The Ministry of Health also presented to the FDA an Israeli study that shows the high efficacy data of the booster dose - which responds to the protection against the corona virus.
What is the reason for postponing the booster approval?
The experts unanimously recommended giving a booster dose to people over the age of 65 and people at risk, as well as to health care workers - just as we did first.
The reason they were not recommended for people under 65, is the lack of enough information from the field to decide if they even need it, as well as for various reasons unrelated to safety.
For example, for reasons of justice in directing millions of vaccines to third world countries that have not yet been vaccinated at all and creating global herd immunity before vaccinating in a third dose the citizens of the United States, one of the richest and most powerful countries in the world.
In Israel, it is assumed that in a short time, the United States will also expand the vaccine to younger ages, as was done in Israel.
Has the FDA warned of dangers in using the vaccine?
No.
The FDA notes that it lacks clinical information from the field before it can recommend a third dose.
It does not warn of hazards in use.
The Ministry of Health in Israel says that it has been decided to act responsibly and quickly to treat the growing morbidity, and that the high efficiency figures have been seen in the field.
