Surging CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus infections could push Israel further toward herd immunity, the nation’s top health official said Sunday as the government plans to push more vaccine shots.

Israel last week became one of the first countries to begin administering a fourth dose of the vaccine to people most vulnerable to the CCP virus. In an interview with Radio 103FM, Health Ministry Director-General Nachman Ash confirmed that the Israeli government will move on to approve the fourth shot for more citizens.
