‘An Israeli expert panel recommended on Tuesday a fourth shot of the coronavirus vaccine for people 60 and older and healthcare workers, in a decision hailed by Prime Minister Naftali Bennett as "great news" that will "help us make it through the omicron wave" spreading globally.
The decision by the Health Ministry panel is pending approval by the ministry's director general, which is expected within days, when the Health Ministry releases clearer guidelines on a fourth shot.
Also on Tuesday, Israel's COVID cabinet approved a series of new measures, mostly targeting crowd sizes in shopping centers, in a bid to curb the spread of the omicron variant.’
