(ANSA) – TEL AVIV, 08 JUN – Israel is evaluating the possibility of administering a fifth dose of the vaccine, especially for the elderly and those at risk. Salman Zarka, head of the fight against the virus, said this in the face of a new rise in infections in the country. And for this reason Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has scheduled a meeting with health officials for today.
The problem, it seems, is the reduced defense at a distance from the last vaccination or infection. “Unfortunately we are starting – explained Zarka, according to media reports – a new wave of coronavirus of the BA.5 variant.
For this we consider a fifth vaccine “.
According to the data, in the last 24 hours the number of cases has risen to 4,585 from 3,731 of the previous days: the largest since last April 25th. The Rt Factor is at 1.19 and severe cases are also on the rise. From now on, the reintroduction of indoor masks has already been suggested for the population groups at risk, but this is no longer mandatory.
