Health minister: Israelis may be asked to take 4th shot of vaccine at some point
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHealth Minister Nitzan Horowitz says it is possible Israelis will be asked to take a fourth shot of the COVID vaccine at some point.
Speaking at the Israel Hayom conference, Horowitz says “it could be” that Israel will at some point approve a fourth dose for the general population, but adds: “I don’t know yet. If we see that the vaccine’s efficacy drops after a certain amount of time, even after the booster, we could recommend a fourth dose — it’s possible.”
Horowitz notes that there are vaccines — like the flu shot — that are administered annually. “We will make decisions based on medical need,” he adds.
