Pfizer’s shot remains strong against disease, but Israeli data raise the prospect of it waning against infection

As Israel struggles with a new surge of coronavirus cases, its health ministry reported Thursday that although effectiveness of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine remains high against severe illness, its protection against infection by the coronavirus has diminished significantly compared with this winter and early spring.

Analyzing the government’s national health statistics, researchers concluded that Pfizer’s shots, while offering vaccinated people 90 percent less risk of severe disease, gave them only 39 percent less risk against infection in late June and early July, compared with 95 percent from January to early April.

Nevertheless, the new estimates are raising concern in Israel and elsewhere, including the United States. 

Possible reasons for the apparent loss of effectiveness against infection include the rise of the highly contagious Delta variant or a waning of protection from the shots over time.

Israel began relaxing its restrictions in the spring. In late June, with the Delta variant spreading, cases surged again. 

Now, over 1,000 people are testing positive each day, including among fully vaccinated people. 

Epidemiologists had expected such breakthrough infections, as they do with all vaccines.

However, if the vaccine’s protection against infection is indeed waning after six months, the implications could be enormous, including on deliberations about whether to give people a third shot.
