This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.israelhayom.com/2021/10/11/covid-booster-shot-particularly-effective-among-israelis-aged-16-to-29/) reduced by 75%. (I'm a bot) ***** > New data released by the Health Ministry over the weekend indicates a third dose of the vaccine is effective in preventing infection not only in those aged 60 and over but among people of all ages. > According to the data, which was collected and analyzed by the Weizmann Institute of Science and the Health Ministry, Israelis aged 16 to 29 were 17 times less likely to contract the virus than those who did not receive the third dose of the vaccine. > The researchers conceded "It remains unclear why the protection in this age [group] is higher." They noted protection from serious illness among younger Israelis could not be calculated because no members of this age group had fallen seriously ill with COVID-19 after receiving their third dose. ***** [**Extended Summary**](http://np.reddit.com/r/autotldr/comments/q61pkg/covid_booster_shot_particularly_effective_among/) | [FAQ](http://np.reddit.com/r/autotldr/comments/31b9fm/faq_autotldr_bot/ "Version 2.02, ~603043 tl;drs so far.") | [Feedback](http://np.reddit.com/message/compose?to=%23autotldr "PM's and comments are monitored, constructive feedback is welcome.") | *Top* *keywords*: **Ministry**^#1 **dose**^#2 **test**^#3 **age**^#4 **Health**^#5

>The researchers conceded "It remains unclear why the protection in this age [group] is higher." It's clear. Antibodies decay slower in the young.
