Israel's Vaccination Experience
Israel has given the first shot to 4.2 million peopleāmore than two-thirds of eligible citizens over 16 years oldāand a second shot to 2.8 million, according to its health ministry. The country has around 9.3 million citizens.
The study, which involved about 9,000 people, also found a 75% reduction in both symptomatic and asymptomatic infections after the first shot. The study was published as a correspondence, meaning it represents the views of the authors and not the Lancet.
