Alberta reached an important milestone Wednesday with 50.7 per cent of eligible Albertans having received both COVID-19 vaccine doses.

I looked it up, and at this pace, Alberta will pass Israel in the near future for second doses.

I know, who would have predicted this back in February.

Israel's vaccination rollout started strong, but has since stalled. Canada is the opposite.

That is a shocker.

Israel sent about 700,000 expiring Pfizer doses to South Korea, in what is the world's first Covid-19 vaccine swap.

Israel is studying whether a third shot of Pfizer will boost immunity against the Delta variant.

Despite 5,497,150 doses in arms, we are not yet to 50% with 2 doses - mainly as the strategy here (right or wrong) became "get as many one dosed as quickly as possible".



That strategy started after all possible quite elder & Care Homes had 2 shots

Perhaps people, particularly the young don't think it's necessary. Perhaps people think Israel already has herd immunity and they won't catch it. I can only speculate. Seventy percent vaccinated is becoming a difficult goal to reach in Israel.

Netanyahu is pushing that as opposition leader.

Pfizer is about to seek U.S. authorization for a third dose of its Covid-19 vaccine, saying Thursday that another shot within 12 months could dramatically boost immunity and maybe help ward off the latest worrisome coronavirus mutant.

Good news



I would hope they would tinker with it to / adjust it for latest possible known variants also

Would the third shot be like an annual booster?

Not sure exactly, but it would seem so

Or they mean a third dose is required much sooner after the second dose and an annual dose after that.
