The fourth dose of Covid vaccine increases antibodies five times within one week of its administration. This is what a preliminary Israeli study cited by Prime Minister Naftali Bennett reveals.
"One week after the fourth dose is injected, we know with greater certainty that it is safe and effective, there is a fivefold increase in the number of antibodies," he told reporters as he exited the Sheba Medical Center laboratory.
The data collected so far by the medical center also seem to indicate that the fourth dose guarantees "much better" protection from both infections and serious illness.
"In short - said Bennett - the fourth dose is safe, and this is certain. And, with a very high probability, it works. For this reason I am delighted that 100 thousand Israelis have already booked to receive the fourth dose in two days. Yesterday already 20 thousand received it ”.
Studies that need to be deepened and then "shared" with the whole world, the prime minister clarified.
"The Omicron storm is growing", he warned, "the wave is rising and we must expect tens of thousands of infections in the next few days".
