NEJM 4/14/2022
1. Fourth Dose of BNT162b2 mRNA Covid-19 Vaccine in a Nationwide Setting

Facts: 
1/2022-2/2022 Israel data, 60+, 4m after 3rd dose ->4th dose
182K paired analysis, 55% protection against symptomatic infection, 74% protection against death
The 4th dose is effective, in the context of omicron variant

Take-home:
60+ for sure should consider.
