Israel's Health Ministry laid out its procedures for vaccinating people who were infected with the coronavirus in-between receiving both doses of the vaccine, Ynet reported on Thursday.
The new procedure applies to those who were infected and diagnosed with coronavirus after receiving a positive serological test.
Under this new procedure, anyone who received the first dose of the coronavirus vaccine and subsequently became infected will need to wait 3 months before receiving the second and final dose of the vaccine.
The Health Ministry sent out guidelines to all of Israel's health funds clarifying the new procedure, which includes provisions such as those who have already been infected will be able to receive their first dose upon being recognized as recovered and the time-frame for receiving the second dose.
The new system also provides procedures for receiving the green passport after receiving the first dose and later being declared a verified coronavirus patient, which will be updated six months starting from 7 days after receiving the vaccine.
The new procedures come as Israel continues its unprecedented vaccination campaign, with over 5 million people receiving at least their first dose thus far.
