Looks like we'll need to hit 90% of eligible, and potentially, and hopefully, vaccinate the under 12 crowd to keep the numbers in the green.

Now, for the bad news, but I was reading that Israel is starting to see more 'breakthrough' cases. And effectiveness of Pfizer appears to be reduced over several months. This might mean boosters will be needed in an ongoing basis until covid-19 is no longer a threat, if that ever happens. Israel will not be doing another lockdown, but rather will but other safety measures in place. Not helpful for Israel is that they haven't made it easy for the Palestine population to receive their shot, which likely is also causing problems.
