(Worthy News) – Israel became the first country in the world to begin giving third vaccinations to at-risk individuals on Monday.
For the immunocompromised, the Health Ministry recommended administering a third dose eight weeks after a second jab, effective immediately. Hospitals began notifying eligible patients and vaccinating them.
Tens of thousands of Israelis, such as cancer patients, organ transplant recipients and individuals taking medications that suppress the immune system are eligible under the ministry’s guidelines. The first to receive third vaccinations were people who had received heart transplants at Tel Aviv’s Sheba Medical Center. [ Source: World Israel News (Read More…) ]
