Jerusalén. Israel retiró este domingo a los pacientes con cáncer de la lista prioritaria para una tercera dosis de las vacunas contra covid-19, dando marcha atrás con una decisión que había aplicado hacía una semana.

El lunes pasado Israel había comenzado a administrar una tercera inyección de Pfizer a pacientes con sistemas inmunitarios comprometidos, incluidas personas que se han sometido a trasplantes de corazón, pulmón y riñón y algunos pacientes con cáncer.
