Jerusalem: Israel on Sunday introduces new rules to determine the status of coronavirus vaccination, making booster shoot requirements for full inoculation and passport vaccination.
After the Pioneer Booster Shots for everyone aged 12 years and over, Israel is believed to be the first country to condition the validity of the vaccination passport after obtaining a booster.
Israel said it would soon cancel the vaccination passport of more than one million people, especially those who qualified for, but had not received the third vaccination shot.
What must be considered fully vaccinated by Israel must fulfill one of the following criteria: to 12 or more and has received booster shooting at least a week ago; Within six months after receiving a second shot; or within six months after being tested positive for Covid.
Booster’s shot is a Pfizer vaccination.
In Israel, Green Pass – Digital or paper vaccination certificates – needed to enter public spaces, including restaurants, hotels, clubs, cultural places, and large private meetings.
People who are not vaccinated can only obtain entries with evidence of negative quick tests conducted at the official test station, which is valid for 24 hours, or a negative PCR test valid for 72 hours.
Policy changes came after the Health and Israeli officials identified a significant immunity association of five or six months after their second Pfizer dose and after the study showed the effectiveness of booster shots in preventing severe illness.
