An Israeli team of healthcare workers took today fourth doses of Covid-19 vaccines in a trial that seeks to show if a second round of boosters can be more protective of the vaccine-resistant Omicron.

The spokesperson for Sheba Medical Centre near Tel Aviv said he would share results of the trial, that’s likely to be observed internationally, with the Israeli health ministry within two weeks, reported Reuters.

The country has recorded close to 2,000 cases of Omicron, while daily cases are on the rise.

Earlier this month, Health experts affiliated with the Israeli government recommended the fourth dose of a Covid-19 vaccine for all people aged over 60 and healthcare workers, a move welcomed by Prime Minister Naftali Bennet.
