In the past month, the coronavirus vaccine has proven to be 64% effective against symptomatic infection by the Delta variant, the Health Ministry reported Monday. It then gave the green light for a booster shot for immunocompromised patients, as the coronavirus cabinet prepares to meet today to discuss new measures to fight against the new outbreak.
Although the ministry also reported that the inoculation’s ability to prevent serious morbidity has remained very high, currently standing at 93%, the cabinet is expected to discuss the possibility of additional restrictions on the public....

Posljednjih mjeseci se pokazalo da je vakcina protiv Corona virusa efektivna u 64% slučajeva protiv infekcije Delta varijantom (mutacijom) virusa, prema Ministarstvu zdravlja Izraela. Održavaju se sastanci radi novih mjera za borbu protiv novih slučajeva . Iako Ministarstvo kaže da postoji 94% procijepljenost i time sposobnost da se preveniraju teške posljedice zaraze, ipak se raspravlja o dodatnim restrikcijama.
Među ostalim raspravlja se o mogućnosti da se vrati neki oblik "zelenog pasoša" kojim bi se spriječilo okupljanje nevakciniranih ili osjetljivih učesnika npr djece ili starijih.
Doprije nekoliko tjedana je sistem "zelenog pasoša" dao pristup nekim aktivnostima samo onima koji su vakcinirani ili preboljeli infekciju ili djeci koja ne mogu primiti cjepivo ali imaju negativan PCR test.
Prema preporukama "Savjetodavnog komiteta za Corona vakcinaciju" zdravstveni radnici će preporučiti dodatni test za sve koji ulaze u Izrael kao i proširenje liste zemalja iz kojih putnici trebaju imati karantenu iako su vakcinirani ili preboljeli infekciju.
Nove informacije:
Delta Plus is a variant of the Delta strain – which is already known to be 50% more infectious than the previous Alpha (British) variant and is responsible for the majority of new cases in the country – with an additional mutation (#417).
“If the original strain was contagious after spending 15 minutes near a sick person, now it is theoretically even less,” Prof. Cyrille Cohen, head of the immunology lab at Bar-Ilan University, told the Post.
Nove informacije
A new
COVID-19 variant that vaccines are reportedly less effective against, referred
to as the Lambda variant, has been classified as a variant of interest by the
World Health Organization (WHO).
The
Lambda variant is currently circulating several South American countries at a
high rate, and the presence of critical mutations has been detected in the
spike protein.
