Only 18 and up are currently eligible for booster shots. If you really want one I guess you can try a Frum place that will look the other way? Or maybe once you get to Israel they’ll give it to younger there?

It doesn’t make sense that booster shots would be required for teenagers to travel from US to Israel if they are not yet eligible to get booster shots here. Are you sure that’s the case?

If it's not given for that age yet I wouldn't look for a dif way to get it. There is obviously a reason it's not given

Israel started giving teens vaccinations after America did. December is only 6 months from when teens started becoming eligible for the vaccine to begin with... He's probably only reaching 6 months from the second dose soon, right?
So Israel isn't up to boosters for teens.

(I have a similar dilemma but it's months away and the playing field will probably change a million times by then...)

Boosters aren't approved yet for that age. I personally would not give my child a booster.

Apparently if you say your child has an health issue then you can get a booster

It was just approved for 16+ in America, so probably coming soon for younger teens is my guess...

Mistyrose, when was your child's first set of vaccines?
