In a first for the entire planet, Israel has been conducting tests on the effectiveness of a FOURTH Rona shot against the Omicron variant.
“The vaccine, which was very effective against the previous strains, is less effective against the Omicron strain,” Prof. Gili Regev-Yochay, a lead researcher in the experiment said.
“We see an increase in antibodies, higher than after the third dose,” Regev-Yochay said. “However, we see many infected with Omicron who received the fourth dose. Granted, a bit less than in the control group, but still a lot of infections,” she added.
“The bottom line is that the vaccine is excellent against the Alpha and Delta, for Omicron it’s not good enough,” she said.
Which of course poses a whole bunch of new questions, not least of which will be should we get a FIFTH dose?
