An Israeli hospital on Monday said preliminary research indicates a fourth dose of the coronavirus vaccine provides only limited defense against the omicron variant that is raging around the world.
Sheba Hospital last month began administering a fourth vaccine to more than 270 medical workers — 154 who received a Pfizer-BioNtech vaccine and 120 others who received Moderna’s. All had previously been vaccinated three times with the Pfizer-BioNtech vaccine.
The clinical trial found that both groups showed increases in antibodies “slightly higher” than following the third vaccine last year. But it said the increased antibodies did not prevent the spread of omicron.

Not much need for us, we’ve already had it… that’s plenty of booster there. OBTW, the shots were worse than the disease

What study says about efficacy of fourth Covid-19 vaccine shot
CNN’s Ana Cabrera speaks with Dr. Abdul El-Sayed about new data from an Israeli study on the efficacy of a fourth dose of Covid-19 vaccine while Dr. Paul Off...
Thank you my friend Lt Col Charlie Brown for making us aware of the rather unsurprising news that Israeli Sheba Hospital, Tel Aviv on Monday, January 17, 2022 said 'preliminary research indicates a fourth dose of the coronavirus vaccine provides only limited defense against the omicron variant that is raging around the world.'
I am very thankful that I survived Omicron along with my darling wife and one of our adult sons.

JERUSALEM (AP) — An Israeli hospital on Monday said preliminary research indicates a fourth dose of the coronavirus vaccine provides only limited defense against the omicron variant that is raging around the world.
Sheba Hospital last month began administering a fourth vaccine to more than 270 medical workers — 154 who received a Pfizer-BioNtech vaccine and 120 others who received Moderna’s. All had previously been vaccinated three times with the Pfizer-BioNtech vaccine.
The clinical trial found that both groups showed increases in antibodies “slightly higher” than following the third vaccine last year. But it said the increased antibodies did not prevent the spread of omicron.
“Despite increased antibody levels, the fourth vaccine only offers a partial defense against the virus,” said Dr. Gili Regev-Yochay, director of the hospital’s infection disease unit. “The vaccines, which were more effective against previous variants, offer less protection versus omicron.”

I hope this doesn’t give people the attitude of “Why should I get a shot? It doesn’t work anyway.” I’m happy that you and your family are well.
