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.

You didn't know? Covid vaccine is now an annual vaccine, the new one is 2023/2024.
I wish there was a way they could have a single vaccine that included both COVID and flu.
For ten dollars I am willing to give you both at the same time to see what will happen
for what it's worth, I had both at the same time a couple weeks ago. same shoulder. nothing weird happened, shoulder just felt a bit sore lol
