Israel has expanded its coronavirus booster shot program to include anyone over 12. The decision, approved Sunday, is the latest phase of a booster program that began last month with Israelis over 60. It was expanded in phases over several weeks to people in their 50s, 40s and 30s. On Sunday, many in their twenties were receiving their booster shots at a centre in Petach Tikva in central Israel. Some 2 million people — more than 20% of the country's roughly 9 million people — have received a third dose.
