And it s not the only positive research about the Pfizer jab to come out of Israel recently.
A separate independent Israeli study, from the country s largest healthcare provider Clalit, found a 94 percent drop in symptomatic Covid-19 infections among 600,000 people who received two doses of the Pfizer vaccine.
