The vast majority of those who received a third booster dose in Israel have seen a surge in antibodies a week after getting the shot, reports the Kan public broadcaster.
According to the report, in a study of 100 people who received the booster shot at the Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer, 98 of them had developed high levels of antibodies, similar to those present a week after they received their second dose.
More than 650,000 Israelis have already received a third dose of the vaccine after Israel launched a campaign on August 1 to administer a booster shot to those over age 60.
As The Times of Israel’s environment reporter, I try to convey the facts and science behind climate change and environmental degradation, to explain – and critique – the official policies affecting our future, and to describe Israeli technologies that can form part of the solution.
I am passionate about the natural world and disheartened by the dismal lack of awareness to environmental issues shown by most of the public and politicians in Israel.
I’m proud to be doing my part to keep Times of Israel readers properly informed about this vital subject – which can and does effect policy change.
