The research is part of the first major study which will determine whether the second round of booster doses will help curb the fast spreading coronavirus variant. As per credible reports, spokesperson from the Sheba Medical Centre declared that results of the research study will be monitored closely by the international department and later, will be submitted to the Health Ministry of Israel in about two weeks. According to sources, the proposal has been accepted by the government of Israel while various experts still have their doubts regarding the fourth booster shot and demand more scientific justification for the same. However, the final green signal from Nachman Ash, Director General of the Health Ministry is still awaited. It has been speculated that around 2,000 confirmed and suspected cases of Omicron have been recorded and infections are increasing day by day.
