The Delta variant is estimated to spread 40-60% more readily than the Alpha variant that dominated the U.S. by April, which itself was some 50% more transmissible than the original strain.
Fox News has reached out to Pfizer but has not heard back.
The ministry did not disclose what the previous effectiveness level against infections was before the decline. In May, it published a report that said two doses of the Pfizer vaccine was more than 95% effective against infections, hospitalizations and severe illness, according to the news agency.
Around 60% of Israel's population has received at least
one shot of the Pfizer vaccine. The country subsequently saw a drop in
coronavirus cases from more than 100,000 in January to single digits in
June.
