Some of the earliest figures from a mass vaccination program has shown a huge drop in coronavirus cases.
Israel has had by far the most successful COVID-19 vaccine rollout, with 56 Pfizer doses administered for every 100 people in the country.
And already a sharp drop has been recorded in the number of people falling ill.

Of the 163,000 Israelis vaccinated by the Maccabi Healthcare Services, just 31 have contracted coronavirus.
"This is very, very good news," vaccine statistician Anat Ekka Zohar told the Times of Israel.
"It is the first study in the world that looks at such a large number of fully vaccinated patients."
The Israel data shows the Pfizer vaccine has an efficacy rate of 92 per cent.
But what is perhaps even more encouraging is how those vaccinated who contract coronavirus nevertheless respond.
"None have been hospitalised and they have very, very light symptoms," Dr Ekka Zohar said.
"We are talking about headache and a mild feeling of sickness, and they are almost completely without fever. It's really a very light illness."

More than 650,000 Israelis contracted coronavirus during the pandemic and 4816 people have died.
Health workers in Israel are now reporting a different problem – they have more vaccines than people coming forward.
Currently Israel only offers vaccines to people older than 35 or between the ages of 16 and 18.
Those age restrictions are expected to be lifted next week.
Members of Arab and ultra-Orthodox communities in Israel are less likely to come forward to be vaccinated.
More than half the population of Israel has already received their first shot of the coronavirus vaccine.
More than 10 per cent have already had both.
In second place is the United Arab Emirates with 35 per cent having at least one shot, followed by the Seychelles with 31 per cent.
The UK is at 14 per cent, and Bahrain at 10 per cent.
No coronavirus vaccines have yet been administered to the Australian public.
