    From your own article where it repeatedly emphasizes that the Pfizer vaccine is no way outdated: > The vaccine still provides very high levels of protection against hospitalization (92%) and severe illness (91%) caused by the Delta variant, the ministry said. .. > 91%. That’s how effective the Pfizer vaccine is at preventing serious illness and hospitalization caused by the Delta variant after two doses, according to the Israeli study. This is only slightly lower than against other variants. As this is the primary purpose of a vaccine, it is still highly successful, though it does mean it will likely not be sufficient to stop outbreaks on its own. In any case, there's clear evidence that immunity waned in people given two doses too close together 8 months ago and that a third dose basically regains full efficacy.

        Sure, as soon as everyone (including children) is vaccinated and those with older vaccinations are given boosters.
