The fourth vaccine is effective against the omicron
Satisfaction with preliminary results of an Israeli study that examined the effect of the fourth vaccine.
The study conducted at the Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv shows that the additional dose of vaccine significantly increased the protection against infection, including in the Omicron strain.
According to Dr. Esti Sage, the lead researcher, "the risk of contracting the virus, seven days or more after receiving the fourth dose, is as small as it gets."

However, it is important to add that it is not possible to determine with certainty which of the subjects was infected with the micron and which was not, due to the fact that no genetic sequencing was performed.
It is assumed that due to the spread of the omicron at a time when those vaccinated with a fourth vaccine (early January) were sampled, most of the infected were infected with a variant that had already become dominant at this stage in the infections.
In addition, these are only preliminary findings and Ichilov will continue to update regularly.
