JERUSALEM, HARIANHALUAN.COM – The Israeli Ministry of Health on Thursday (16/9) said: vaccine Third, Covid-19 increases immunity protection tenfold against infection.
The ministry said that a recent Israeli study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, tested the effectiveness of a third dose among people aged 60 years and over who received vaccine third in August. That’s tenfold protection compared to those who received only two doses at least five months ago.
The study was carried out by a multidisciplinary research team from the Ministry of Health, namely the Weizmann Institute of Science, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Technion, Sheba Medical Center and the KI Research Institute.
“Israeli data indicate the high efficacy of vaccine Pfizer’s third role in preventing the infection and severe illness of Covid-19,” the ministry said in a statement.
Israel starts vaccinating their population with vaccine third on August 1, when the Delta variant spread in Israel and the efficacy of two doses vaccine first fade. To date nearly 3 million Israelis have received vaccine third.
Researchers found that 12 days after receiving vaccine third, infection rates were tenfold lower among recipients vaccine a third of those who did not receive the booster dose.
The researchers state this indicates that if the probability of the person receiving vaccine both infected with the Delta variant about 50 percent of those who were not vaccinated, so the booster dose reduced the risk by 5 percent or increased the immune defense to 95 percent.
