Reuters reported on August 23 that the Israeli Ministry of Health published a survey on Sunday (August 22) showing that people aged 60 and over who received the third dose of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine have gained in the prevention of COVID-19 infection and severe illness.

Officials from the Israeli Ministry of Health said that their analysis of statistics from the Gertner Institute and the KI Institute showed that people aged 60 and over are protected against the disease 10 days after the third dose of vaccine In terms of infection, they get 4 times higher protection than those who received two doses of the vaccine. In terms of preventing severe illness and hospitalization, they get 5-6 times higher protection than those who received two doses.
