Israeli study finds Pfizer Covid-19 booster protects against Omicron

JERUSALEM (Reuters): Israeli researchers said on Saturday (Dec 11) that they found that a three-shot course of the Pfizer / BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine provided significant protection against the new Omicron variant.

The findings were similar to those presented by BioNTech and Pfizer earlier in the week, which were an early signal that booster shots could be key to protect against infection from the newly identified variant.
