Dozens get 4th COVID shot in Sheba Hospital test
Sheba Hospital has begun giving fourth COVID shots to an initial group of volunteers, Channel 13 reports, in a study that aims to ascertain how effective a fourth vaccination will be in the battle against COVID.
The study, for which some 300 volunteers have been recruited, got underway on Thursday, with the first few dozen volunteers vaccinated.
Prof. Galia Rahav, head of Sheba Medical Center’s Infectious Disease Unit, told The Times of Israel on Tuesday that while fourth shots for the general population have been ruled out for now, her ongoing research underscores their importance for some.
