Until late December, Israel managed to stave off Omicron to some degree but with infection rates now gaining pace, daily cases are expected to reach record highs in the coming three weeks.“The cost will be a great many infections,” Ash told“The numbers will have to be very high in order to reach herd immunity. This is possible but we don’t want to reach it by means of infections, we want it to happen as a result of many people vaccinating,” he said.
Around 60% of Israel’s 9.4 million population are fully vaccinated – almost all with Pfizer /BioNTech’Svaccine – according to the health ministry, which means they have either received three doses or have had their second dose recently. But hundreds of thousands of those eligible for a third inoculation have so far not taken it.
Head of the health ministry’s coronavirus taskforce, Salman Zarka, said herd immunity was far from guaranteed.
