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.
That’s weirdly 180 degrees opposite of my experience.
Are you sure you’re being 100% honest? Where do you live? There are ads for these at my grocery store. Not to mention the doctors office, and they still ask you to wear masks.
Of course, wearing masks is what we should do if we suspect we’re sick. It’s the sick/well kid’s waiting room at the pediatrician.
Yes, that’s life in the South sadly. I haven’t seen a doctor wear a mask in two years.
