All Credit To Israel

[Canary42]

Israel has begun delivering a fourth vaccine dose for people most vulnerable to coronavirus, becoming one of the first countries to do so as it prepares for a wave of infections driven by the omicron variant.

Israel, which led a world beating vaccination program in 2020, will administer a fourth dose of the vaccine to individuals with weakened immune systems along with elderly residents and employees in care homes.

And the fifth, sixth and seventh jab award goes to...?

After all, they have less folk than Scotland to inject - Nicola couldn't even organise a pish-up in a Belhaven brewery, the Israelis can.....

I ban see that the immuno suppressed may need extra protection earlier than the rest of us.

[Gromit]

That is good. Really good.

So is the criteria for getting the fourth dose based on ethnicity, vulnerability and medical probability - or some other metric ?

If you are Palestinian and poor, do you have the same opportunity to get a booster jab ?

Just spotted ny typo.

2050 and we'll be lining up for our 50th booster, masked up in the queue. At what point do we say enough?

[Mamyalynne]

Whenever you want to CountryBlumpkin.

"And the fifth, sixth and seventh jab award goes to...?"

Of for the umpteenth time, give it a rest! What is actually wrong with you?

[JimF]

"At what point do we say enough?"

I've probably had over 50 flu jags by now - what is actually wrong with you?

[JimF]

"they have less folk than Scotland to inject"

Do you mean fewer folk? Even if you do, the population of Israel is almost twice that of Scotland. Only mathematically, though...

DC, getting a dig in at Scotland, who knows why. ?

Par for the course Anne :-/

[anneasquith]

I know Toorak, but what has Nicolas sturgeon got to do with the OP ?

[Toorak]

Exactly :-(

[tonyav]

Take no notice, get your boosters when available. Keep safe.

[anneasquith]

I’m sorted tony :-). If I’m advised to have more vaccinations/ medication I will.

[tonyav]

Good gal, way to go.

"DC, getting a dig in at Scotland, who knows why?"

Thank appropriate deity he hasn't tried to write a "poem" [sic] about it!

[anneasquith]

True :-)
