Washington: The cases of Coronavirus may have started decreasing at this time, but the threat of this epidemic (Covid-19 Pandemic) is not over. In view of this, American scientists have started preparing to give the fourth dose of the corona vaccine (COVID-19 vaccine). Famous infectious disease expert and America’s Chief Medical Advisor Anthony Fauci has said that we are considering recommending the fourth dose of the Covid vaccine to protect against the Omicron virus.

Anthony Fauci, Chief Medical Adviser to US President Joe Biden, further said that we are taking steps one by one. Gathering data for the third booster dose. And deciding on the basis of scientific data. We will also follow the same procedure to decide about the fourth dose of Covid.

Actually, it is believed that there is a danger in the world regarding the next variant of Covid. In view of this, scientists do not want to take any risk. Most of the population has got the Covid vaccine. Now the brainstorming is going on about when and when booster doses of the vaccine should be applied. The work of applying the fourth dose has started in Israel. A study done there last month had shown that the fourth dose doubles the power to protect against corona.
