Late on Monday, Israel crossed the one-million threshold in its rollout of the "booster" dose of the coronavirus vaccine, and as of Tuesday morning, the healthcare system had administered 1,052,615 third doses to Israelis age 50 and above.
Also on Monday, the IDF began administering third doses of the vaccine to service members age 30 and above.
According to coronavirus czar Professor Salman Zarka, so far, no one who received a third dose of the vaccine has become ill with coronavirus, including with the Delta variant. Prof. Zarka also said that three weeks after the first elderly Israelis received their third dose, there have been "no unusual side effects, when compared to what we saw after the second dose."
