#israel #boostervaccine Israel will offer those over the age of 60 who are already vaccinated against COVID-19 a third booster jab. The country is leading the world in its coronavirus vaccine programme, and prime minister Naftali Bennett announced on Thursday anyone over 60 who was vaccinated more than five months ago will be eligible. The announcement makes Israel the first country to offer a third dose of a Western vaccine to its citizens on a wide scale. “I'm announcing this evening the beginning of the campaign to receive the booster vaccine, the third vaccine,” Bennett said in a nationally televised address. “Reality proves the vaccines are safe. Reality also proves the vaccines protect against severe morbidity and death. And like the flu vaccine that needs to be renewed from time to time, it is the same in this case. ” https://www.euronews.com/2021/07/30/israel-to-offer-coronavirus-vaccine-booster-to-people-over-60
