When will customized Omikron vaccines come in Germany?

Israel shows how the fourth vaccination could work.

Berlin / Tel Aviv - The new Omikron variant * has brought new explosiveness to the fourth corona wave, which is currently affecting Germany.

While the country is still busy with booster vaccinations, especially against the delta variant of the coronavirus, new corona vaccines * against Omikron need to be developed.

The manufacturers Biontech / Pfizer * and Moderna * have already announced that adapted vaccines will come onto the market in spring and summer 2022, respectively.

This is already the case in Israel *, for example.

There, the government is currently testing fourth vaccinations in hospitals.

The staff of a clinic near Tel Aviv, around 150 employees, are already receiving the second booster.

Israel: Fourth corona vaccination for hospital staff

The results of the study are to be included in future political decisions by governments, for example when it comes to the question of whether the fourth vaccination should be used for the entire Israeli population.

Similar tendencies were recently also visible in Germany when the new traffic light coalition introduced a council of experts.

The committee is to be more closely involved in advisory processes.

The Israeli government had announced that the fourth corona vaccination * would be useful for people over the age of 60.

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett called on all citizens who meet these criteria to get vaccinated.

According to his office, he instructed the health insurance companies to prepare for another broad vaccination campaign.

The Land of Israel has already passed the fourth wave of the pandemic.

However, the vaccination data from the health authorities are sobering: Only 59 percent of the population (9.4 million in total) are considered vaccinated.

These include those who have been vaccinated twice and those who have been boosted.

32 percent of the population is not vaccinated against the coronavirus at all.

A growing number of people are “booster refusers”: One group is particularly in focus.
