The staff receiving the additional dose were tested and found to have low antibody levels.&nbsp;The trial came as Israeli officials have considered rolling out a second tranche of booster shots to its population as the country grapples with rising infections with the new omicron variant,\u201d the news site said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHopefully, we\u2019ll be able to show here \u2026 that this fourth booster really provides protection against the omicron, which is highly needed,\u201d Jacob Lavee, former director of the heart transplant unit at Sheba, told Newsmax.<\/p>\n<p>Since the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, emerged, researchers have been studying it, finding out new things nearly daily.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, researchers for a new study say Omicron appears to be milder than the Delta variant of COVID-19, leading to up to 80% fewer hospitalizations.<\/p>\n<p>Of the people who contract the virus and are hospitalized, they\u2019re also 70% less likely to be admitted to the intensive care unit or be put on a ventilator compared to those with Delta, The Daily Mail <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-10339089\/Omicron-Covid-MILDER-three-major-studies-confirm-Research-England-Scotland-South-Africa.html\">reported<\/a> on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medrxiv.org\/content\/10.1101\/2021.12.21.21268116v1\">study<\/a> led by South Africa\u2019s National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo even though cases of omicron were less likely to end up in hospital than cases of delta, it is not possible to say whether this is due to inherent differences in virulence or whether this is due to higher population immunity in November compared to earlier in the year,\u201d Paul Hunter, a professor of medicine at the U.K.\u2019s University of East Anglia, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-10335919\/Omicron-80-CENT-likely-cause-hospital-admission-Delta-major-study-suggests.html\">told<\/a> the Daily Mail.<\/p>\n<p>Another study found much of the same. \u201cA separate study out of Scotland, by scientists at the University of Edinburgh and other experts, suggested the risk of hospitalization was two-thirds less with omicron than delta. But that study pointed out that the nearly 24,000 omicron cases in Scotland were predominantly among younger adults ages 20-39. Younger people are much less likely to develop severe cases of COVID-19,\u201d said the Associated Press.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis national investigation is one of the first to show that Omicron is less likely to result in COVID-19 hospitalization than Delta,\u201d researchers wrote, the AP said. While the findings are drawn from early data, \u201cthey are encouraging,\u201d the authors wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Neither of the studies has yet been reviewed by peers.<\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph Curl has covered politics for 35 years, including 12 years as White House correspondent, and ran the Drudge Report from 2010 to 2015.
