Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Our study has several limitations. First and foremost, our study is an observational study as opposed to a randomized clinical trial and therefore causal effects are difficult to infer.

Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Our study has several limitations. First and foremost, our study is an observational study as opposed to a randomized clinical trial and therefore causal effects are difficult to infer. Second, the comparison between the second and third lockdown may be influenced by factors such as the total number of COVID-19 cases in the beginning of each lockdown, testing policy, hospitalization policy and public compliance to the restrictions that may have changed with time. Similarly, differences between cities might be influenced by behavioral and social differences beyond the vaccines. However, none of these factors were likely to cause the different patterns observed in the different age groups reported here. Finally, the effects of the vaccination campaign observed here may be influenced by factors specific to Israel and its healthcare system, in which all citizens are mandated to join one of the official non-profit health insurance organizations. Financial and regional disparities in other health-care systems may impact the distribution and availability of vaccinations, thereby influencing the real life efficacy of the vaccines. Overall, we show an analysis of large-scale real-world data from Israel demonstrating first signs of real-life effectiveness of a national vaccination campaign, Although our findings are preliminary, they have major public health implications for the struggle against the COVID-19 pandemic. More studies aimed at assessing the effectiveness of the vaccination...
