An Israeli government panel recommended administering a fourth booster dose of COVID-19 vaccines today. 

Israel’s pandemic response team said that people older than 60 and health workers can receive a fourth dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. This fourth booster dose will be available at least four months after receiving the third dose. The recommendation still requires final approval from the Health Ministry to go into effect, Israeli media outlets reported today.
