Israel released real-world research data of COVID-19 booster shot.

On October 29, 2021, the Clalit Research Institute of Israel and the Ministry of Health published a blockbuster study on Lancet, reporting the real-world protection of more than 720,000 people inoculated with the third dose of BNT162b2.

 

The study evaluated the protective power of 7 days after the third dose of 728,321 and compared it with people who received only two doses of 728,321, all of whom received the second dose for more than 5 months.

Real-world research in Israel shows that compared with standard vaccination, booster shots can significantly reduce the risk of infection, serious illness, and death.

 

The situation has changed in the United Kingdom, which has been slow to use booster needles, the United States, which partially uses booster needles, and Israel, which has fully used booster needles. As shown in 👇:

As a global testing center for COVID-19, Israel took the unknown risk to overcome the obstacles of the global anti-epidemic countermeasures. The result is that the case fatality rate (0.61%) is much lower than that of the United Kingdom (1.56%) and the United States (1.62%).

 

This real-world protection data, together with Pfizer’s phase 3 clinical trial protection data, can be used as complete data on the effectiveness of the third dose of vaccination.
