NEBGH Medical Director’s Monday COVID-19 Update: Special Israeli Edition
Israel succeeded in vaccinating a large portion of its population early on with the Pfizer vaccine. Now everyone over 12 must require a booster shot to be considered “fully vaccinated.”
What was the data that supported Israel’s decision to give a 3rd dose and what does this data mean for the rest of the world?
Dr. Mark talks with Hadassah Medical Center Infectious Disease expert Prof. Allon Moses about the Delta variant, new variants, vaccine efficacy, booster shots and more.
