The purpose was a priority of quickness to get vaccines in arms before anti-vaccine hesitancy could RUIN the Public Health. It was a SITUATIONAL and non-ideal solution.
Today per the Israel Government....... 1) Israel uses the Pfizer vaccine. Today, those vaccinated in Jan are TWICE (2 X) as likely to have breakthroughs as those vaccinated in April.
2) The 3rd Pfizer shot reduces the chance of infection by about 75%
3) In people age 60 plus, the 3rd shot reduces the chance of severe illness by TEN TIMES (10 x)
I believe that I have heard that the Moderna 3rd shot will be available soon after the 3rd Pfizer is available

I was not aware at all of the planned number of shots. Can you link me somewhere to read that ?
I apologize if I seemed snippy.....I also was not aware of the giving or Moderna boosters.
Thanks for the info
