After Receiving Vaccination, 240 Israelis Diagnosed with CoronavirusDeborah Brand 3 Jan 2021
Of the one million Israelis vaccinated against coronavirus so far, 250 have been diagnosed with the virus days after getting the shot.
According to Channel 13 News, the number highlights the need for people to continue to protect themselves against the virus, because the body takes time to develop the antibodies needed to fight it.
Studies of the Pfizer vaccine have demonstrated that immunity begins occurring only 8-10 days after the first dose and even then immunity is only at around 50 percent. For that reason, a second dose is given 21 days after the first.
It is also unclear whether the vaccine prevents a person from spreading the virus.
While the individual would not get sick, since the immune system is now equipped to fight the virus, the individual’s nasal passages could still emit infectious virus particles.
Of the million, less than twenty people reported allergic reactions to the vaccine, including swelling of the tongue.
Four people died in the hours after receiving the vaccine, but according to the Health Ministry all were unrelated to the inoculation.
Israel topped the world in vaccination rate, with more than 10 percent of the population having received the shot, a tribute to the country’s scientific expertise.
