Over 420,000 Israelis older than 60 have so far received a third dose of the Pfizer/BioNtech vaccine.

Israel began rolling out COVID-19 booster shots to its older population last weekend, after health officials reported new data indicating a decline in vaccine protection over time. The country had previously offered a third dose of the vaccine to some people with compromised immune systems, such as individuals with cancer.

Israel quickly became a world leader in vaccinating against the virus during its initial public campaign. By Sunday, nearly 60 percent of the country's 9.3 million population has been fully vaccinated, with more eligible people now rushing to receive a third vaccine dose. In response to the moratorium, Bennett said Thursday that Israel was doing the world a"great service" by administering the booster shots.
