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.

    They did? I got mine at Walgreens, not even a mention of payment or insurance. I just walked in, got it, walked out.

      Hi, I’m a pharmacist

      They probably did an eligibility check and found your insurance using the info you provided on the consent form.

      If you’re in the non insured group, they are partnered with the government to have it covered regardless
