A month after federal officials recommended new versions of COVID-19 vaccines, 7% of U.S. adults and 2% of children have gotten a shot.
One expert called the rates “abysmal.”
The numbers, presented Thursday at a meeting held by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, come from a national survey of thousands of Americans, conducted two weeks ago.
The data also indicated that nearly 40% of adults said they probably or definitely will not get the shot. A similar percentage of parents said they did not plan to vaccinate their children.

It's not really well broadcasted, I got it by pure chance when I asked about it while getting my flu vax. Also I'm sure plenty are fatigued from shots at this point and stopped caring.
It took incredible effort to get almost anyone to take COVID seriously when millions of people were dying. It's probably better to just keep it out of the news so the most unstable among us don't try to interrupt needed medical care.
