Israel could become first country to give four Covid vaccine doses – BBC News

Israel says it plans to become the first country to roll out a fourth dose of the Covid-19 vaccine as the country prepares for a wave of infections driven by the new Omicron variant.

Israel’s pandemic experts have recommended a fourth booster for the over-60s and health workers – PM Naftali Bennett welcomed the plan and told officials to start preparing.

It comes as Israel confirmed the first known death of a patient with the Omicron strain on Tuesday.

The decision to roll out a fourth booster is still pending approval by senior health officials, however Mr Bennett’s office told the BBC that it was hoping to administer the dose to people at least four months after their third dose.
