2% of kids and 7% of adults have gotten the new COVID shots, US data show
More than a month after federal officials recommended a new version of the COVID-19 vaccines, 7% of U.S. adults and 2% of children have gotten a shot.
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.

Isn't the biggest issue with distribution? I asked to get the shot last month along with my flu shot at my doctor's and they weren't given any.
A month ago when I looked there were none. Today every pharmacy in my area has them including grocery stores. Give it another check and see.
Same. I have a follow-up appointment in half a month and I'll ask about it again, otherwise I'll just find a pharmacy.
