Israel may not need to administer a third dose of the coronavirus vaccine in six months despite an announcement by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Prof. Galia Rahav, the head of the Infectious Disease Unit and Laboratories at Israel s largest hospital, said Wednesday. There is no indication of such a need at this stage, said Rahav, who is based at Sheba Medical Center near Tel Aviv. Fortunately, we are seeing no resurgence of disease.
