The head of an advisory panel that recommended Israel start offering fourth COVID-19 vaccine doses to people over 60 and others considered high risk says no decision has been made on when to begin administering the shots.
“[The recommendation] was made because if we don’t vaccinate the price will be very high — serious morbidity and a lot of quarantine,” Dr. Boaz Lev is quoted as saying by the Kan public broadcaster.
His remarks come shortly after Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz said those eligible could start getting the shots next week, though Health Ministry Director-General Nachman Ash must still approve the move.
