WaPo:With Most Adults Now Vaccinated, Israelis Are Busting Lose

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/israel-coronavirus-vaccine-herd-immunity/2021/04/20/e4e1199c-a118-11eb-b314-2e993bd83e31_story.html?utm_campaign=wp_main&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook

Israel has delivered just under 10 million doses of the two-shot Pfizer vaccine regimen, reaching 4.98 million people, or about 55 percent of its total population. An additional 400,000 Israelis have received one shot. If those who have been infected and then recovered are added in, more than 60 percent of Israeli residents now have some level of protective antibodies. The virus is running short of vulnerable bodies to infect.

I think last I saw we are at least 40% vaccinated with at least one dose while millions have some immunity from having been exposed to the virus, so we arent too far away from nearing where Israel is at now.
