TEL AVIV—Early data from Israel suggests Covid-19 infection rates began to decrease among a group of vaccine recipients two weeks after they received the first shot of Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE ’s vaccine, offering important insights to other countries as they roll out their own campaigns.has vaccinated nearly a fourth
of its population in just under a month, the first country to hit that mark as it fights an upsurge in new infections. Israel’s largest health-care provider, Clalit Health Services, compared test positivity rates among 200,000 people over 60 who received the vaccine with 200,000 that didn’t. Until day 14, there was little difference between the two groups. But after that, the data showed a 33% fall in infection rates among those who had already been vaccinated compared with those who hadn’t.
Clalit noted that the number of people infected was statistically significant, but said it wouldn’t release final numbers until its study is published. Pfizer says people must receive both doses of the vaccine for it to be fully effective. In Pfizer’s trials, the vaccine was shown to take about 12 days before it started to protect people.
