The study has not yet been peer reviewed and neither Pfizer nor the Israeli Health Ministry have made public comment on the findings, but the early signs are good.
A different study by Israel’s Sheba Medical Centre also found that among 7,214 hospital staff who were given their first dose, there was a reduction of 85 per cent in symptomatic Covid-19 within 15 to 28 days, and an overall reduction of infections, including asymptomatic cases detected by testing, of 75%.
Michal Linial, a professor of molecular biology and bioinformatics at Jerusalem’s Hebrew University, spoke positively of the findings. Whether it is 75 or 90 percent reduction doesn’t matter - it is a big drop in transmission, Linial said.
