The report showed that from the data tracked to Feb. 11, when a week had passed since 523,000 people had received their second injection, only 544 people had been infected.
“The data unequivocally prove that the vaccine is very effective and we have no doubt that it has saved the lives of many Israelis,” said Dr. Miri Mizrahi Reuveni, Head of Maccabi’s Health Department.
No one who was vaccinated died. In addition, the majority of those who contracted the virus had only mild or no symptoms.
“Of the 544 infected, only 15 people required hospitalization,” the report said, “of which four were defined as being in severe condition, three in moderate and eight mild.”

Maccabi simultaneously conducted a random test among his unvaccinated customers and found that of 628,000 members with different profiles, 18,425 contracted coronavirus in the same period – 2.9%.
“Since there is active morbidity in children and adolescents up to 16 years of age who cannot be vaccinated, and the mutations of the virus are much more contagious, this means that sooner or later those who are not vaccinated will become infected,” Mizrahi Reuveni argued. “Hurry up and make an appointment as soon as possible. Protect yourself from serious illness and, God forbid, from death, as well as the possibility of infecting and endangering others. “
So far, Maccabi has vaccinated more than a million members with at least one dose of the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine. The country has vaccinated more than 3.7 million, including about 2.4 million with their second shot.
He also said there are 58% fewer new older patients and 44% fewer hospitalizations overall.
“About three weeks ago, they got their second dose of vaccine,” Segal wrote.
