There is good news for the world living in fear of the Omicron variant of the corona virus. Israel's health minister has claimed that people who have taken a booster dose of the Pfizer COVID vaccine or who have taken their second dose in the past 6 months are much more protected from the ravages of Omicron. Israeli Health Minister Nitjan Horowitz, however, did not provide any data to support his claim.
Nittjan said early signs suggest that there remains room for optimism. Hours later, an Israeli news channel claimed that Pfizer's vaccine was 90 percent effective in preventing infection with the Omicron variant. This is only slightly less than the protection from the Delta variant. Channel 12 claimed that the Omicron variant is only 1.3 times more contagious than the Delta variant.
Israel closed its country's doors on Sunday
This is much lower than the earlier estimate. This news has come at a time when two cases of Omicron variants have come to the fore in Israel. With this, the number of people infected with this variant in the country has increased to 4. To prevent the spread of the virus, Israel closed its country's doors to visitors on Sunday. The Israeli minister said that in the coming days, more information will be given about the effect of the vaccine.
