You're below 60? No issues with that?

Got vaccinated today!

Are you considered "high risk"? My cousin was vaccinated yesterday in Israel, and he said he had to convince them that he's high risk.

[PlatinumGuy]

Wow

Israel is the future.

I know many young healthy people who got vaccinated. It's easy in Israel now. An American can also join a Kuppa easily and be considered Israeli, the crunch point is getting into Israel now.

266k vaccinated so far. The pace is expected to reach 150k per day soon

I'll try my luck tomorrow in TLV but I'm not overly optimistic

I don't understand these people who are so concerned and are running to get vaccinated. If they really believe it works and won't cause problems etc why take it now? Leave it for the old people and others who are in real danger, not a far off risk. Personally I'm waiting for a non mRNA vaccine.

Wasn't taking it from anybody. They have to use all the vaccines they defrost, they throw them out end of day.

Everyone who is vaccinated has decreased the danger of COVID spreading to older people (who’s immune systems perform at a poorer level) as well as decreased the health risks COVID poses to themselves.

[Proisrael]

400k infected
260k with the shot

1 in 9 is immune.

What levels do we need to be at to get herd immunity? 4-5 in 9?

From what I understood one can still catch and spread covid with the vaccine, it just insures a less bad case of it.

huh..

Do you have a link for that or stam saying?

[kosherjid]

Once vaccinated, you don't catch it. But you can still spread it around. That's why you still have to wear a mask and keep distance.

[Deal Guy]

So at what point can we get rid of the masks?

I hope you realize that it doesn't make sense as written. Maybe you meant to write "once vaccinated, you don't get sick, but you can still catch it and spread it (asymptomatic infection?)".
