occupied-al-quds: Israel on Sunday widened access to a third coronavirus vaccine jab to anyone aged 12 and up, with Prime Minister Naftali Bennett insisting it was an effective way to contain an infection surge. Moves by several nations to offer third jabs have faced criticism including from the World Health Organisation, which insists poorer countries should gain wider access to vaccines before wealthy ones offer booster shots.
