Stating the the effectiveness of Pfizer’s vaccine in preventing a Covid-19 infection fell from 95% to 64%, Israel’s Ministry of Health also said it was 93% effective at preventing serious illness or hospitalization, in a Tweet in July 5, 2021.
The “delta variant” is spreading in Israel which, despite 57.3% of the population being fullt vsccinated, Israel is seeing a spike in cases, an average of 372 per day as of July 7th, but nothing near the average of over 6,000 per day in January of 2021. However, vaccinated people are still getting sick with the delta variant and while hospitalizations are not jumping, there is some sense the promised immunity has not materialized.
Still, while there has been an uptic in cases, there has yet to be a corresponding uptic in deaths, with one death on July 5th.
