Preliminary data: The third vaccine is 90% effective against omicron, which recover at risk
The data were weighted by the Israeli and African Ministry of Health, which show that in preventing disease and mortality, the effectiveness of the vaccine decreases by only a few percent compared to the Delta strain.
However, the characteristics of the new strain are worrying - a 1.3-fold contagion and a double-decomposing contagion from the delta

The Ministry of Health will weigh data together with the South African Ministry of Health, which show that the effectiveness of three vaccine doses, maintains high efficacy against the Omicron strain and there is only a drop of only a few percent from 95% to 90% in its effectiveness.
In preventing disease and mortality the vaccine retains its strength even against the new strain, just as against the delta strain.
At the same time, the Ministry of Health estimates that there are a number of other verified persons in Israel who have not yet been located and the laboratories have been instructed to re-examine tests of those who have recently returned from a red state.

What do we know about the micron?
The rate of infection is very high - 1.3 times the delta;
Which means that if there is not a broad protective layer of many vaccinated, it can lower our social (national) immunity.
That means you need as many vaccinators as possible.
It is twice as contagious as the delta.
Which means a lot of kids who have been asymptomatic, can get sick again and that's very worrying.
