Israel has approved a fourth vaccine dose for residents who are most vulnerable to COVID-19, officials said Thursday. Israel, which is one of the first countries to authorize a fourth dose, made the decision as it braces for a wave of infections fueled by the Omicron variant.
Nachman Ash, the director general of Israel's Health Ministry, announced the decision at a press conference, saying the doses would initially be given to those with weakened immune systems.
"We will continue to track the data on a daily basis and we will see if we need to broaden this recommendation to more of the population," he said.
