Bennett defends booster shots, says U.S. to soon follow Israel with widespread use

Itamar Eichner|
In his first public comments on an FDA's decision on Friday to approve booster shots of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine only for older Americans and those considered high-risk, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett predicted Saturday night that the United States will gradually begin to offer the shot more widely after being presented with scientific data from Israel.
"The FDA decided to follow in Israel's path," he asserted on Twitter. "I estimate that the FDA will gradually approve the extension of the vaccine to more age groups, as has happened in Israel, as the effectiveness of the second vaccine continues to decline even among younger age groups," he said.
