A preliminary israeli investigation showed that people who received a third dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine felt side effects close to the second dose or even milder.
Reuters quoted The Largest Health Service Provider in Israel, Claritt Health Service Society, as saying on the 8th, that the Society surveyed about 4,500 people who received the third dose of Pfizer vaccine between July 30 and August 1, and reached the above conclusions. The vaccinators were all over the age of 60, with 88 percent saying they felt similar to, or better, after the third dose; about 0.4 percent said they had trouble breathing after the third dose; and 1 percent said they went to the doctor for one or more side effects. Pain at the injection site is the most reported side effect.
Ran Balisser, an expert at the Claritt Society of Health Services, said that although this is only a preliminary and based findings based on the vaccinator's self-perception, the findings still show that the third dose of the vaccine is mostly similar to the situation after the second dose or has fewer side effects.
Israel began giving the elderly over the age of 60 a third dose of the Pfizer vaccine as a booster shot on July 30. Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett quoted government data on the 8th of this month to say that more than 420,000 elderly people over the age of 60 have been vaccinated with booster needles, more than one-third of the target number of vaccinated people.
