The third dose of the coronavirus vaccine offers 10 times more protection than the second, according to an Israeli study
A study released this week by the Israeli Health Ministry indicated that the levels of immunity to
coronavirus
of those who received the third dose of the
Pfizer
vaccine
are 10 times higher than those who received the second at least five months ago.
The study, published in the
New England Journal of Medicine
, showed that boosting the
vaccine
reduced both the chance of
infection
and the chance of developing severe symptoms of the disease in those who received it.
The research was based on the analysis of
more than a million people over 60 years of age
, who were divided into two groups: in one, those vaccinated with only two doses and at least five months ago, and in the other people vaccinated with the third dose. at least 12 days ago.
The number of cases of
coronavirus
registered among the group that did not have the third dose during the study period was close to 4,500, while among those who did have the vaccine booster, only 934 were detected.
"It is clear that the booster vaccine is very effective in reducing the rate of
infection
and the number of severe cases," said the study authors, from a wide range of Israeli scientific, academic and medical organizations, and among which the Ministry of Health is included.
