TEL AVIV (Reuters) – Israel’s health minister said on Thursday that people over 40 and teachers would be eligible for a third dose of Pfizer/BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine, expanding its booster campaign to fend off the coronavirus Delta variant.
Israel began administering third doses to people over 60 in July, later dropping the minimum age of eligibility to 50 and offering boosters to health workers and others.
