Prime Minister Naftali Bennett is expected to announce his support for older Israelis to receive a third dose of the coronavirus vaccine after a government-appointed panel of health experts gave a nod to the trailblazing initiative on Wednesday evening.
The panel’s position will be presented to Bennett and Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz during a Thursday morning meeting, after which the prime minister is expected to announce his backing for Israelis above the age of 60 to receive a third dose of the vaccine.
The vote by the panel was not unanimous, according to Hebrew media,
but a majority supported booster shots for older Israelis, against the
backdrop of the rising number of seriously ill patients in recent weeks.
