Although Israeli scientists concluded that the antibodies created after the fourth dose of the vaccine did not confer protection against omicrons, their government recommended its use. In Serbia, they are following the conclusions of their Israeli colleagues, and in Montenegro they have recommended a fourth dose, with the fact that they will decide later - which one
Many experts believe that a fourth vaccine against covid 19 is needed. However, there is no single position on this matter. In Serbia, less than 50 percent of the population has been vaccinated twice, only 25 percent three times, and the number of newly vaccinated people is in the five digits.
