On September 2, 2021, Israel’s health czar Prof. Salman Zarka stated “We are updating what it means to be vaccinated,” 2 jabs are “no longer counted as vaccinated”. The third shot (booster) will only extend the “vaccinated” status for six months, not permanently, as more boosters are planned for the waning effectiveness of the vaccine.
This begins the change to the definition of what constitutes being “vaccinated”.
Israel began vaccinating their population with Pfizer’s vaccine on December 20, 2020, 5 days after the U.S. rolled out their program.
