Sheba Medical Center to start trial for 4th dose of COVID vaccine next week
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSheba Hospital says its study to examine how effective a fourth dose of the COVID-19 vaccine will be in the battle against the disease has not yet started and will begin next week.
Israel’s Channel 13 news reported earlier that the trial has already started.
The hospital will begin the study with about 100 medical personnel, and not 300 volunteers, as the network said.
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.
