Israel has expanded its booster shot campaign to everyone aged 12 and up, the Health Ministry announced Sunday, after an expert panel attributed Israel’s ability to curb its renewed wave of coronavirus to the rollout.
In addition, Israel’s government announced that those who have received their third shot of the coronavirus vaccine, or who have received their second dose within the past six months, will be exempted from quarantine upon return to Israel from international travel starting this weekend. This applies to arrivals from all countries except for a handful of countries defined as “red,” meaning high risk. Israelis are banned from flying to the “red” countries: Mexico, Turkey, Georgia, Bulgaria, Brazil and Spain.
The only requirement for receiving the booster shot is having received the second dose of the vaccine at least five months prior. Those who do not receive a booster shot will no longer be considered vaccinated as it relates to restrictions if more than six months have elapsed since their second shot, coronavirus czar Salman Zarka said. That change will go into effect on October 1.
