CDC releases new guidance for certain Americans to get additional COVID-19 vaccine booster.
Fauci addressed the issue during a White House COVID-19 Response Team briefing Wednesday.
"Why would people who had enough understanding of the risk to go ahead and get a primary series - why we don't have more getting the booster? I don't have an easy explanation for that. That's one of the reasons why we keep trying to put the data out," Fauci said. CDC Director Dr. Rachel Walensky said at the briefing that 54% of people hospitalized for COVID over the age of 65 are unvaccinated.Unvaccinated people are 97% more likely to die of COVID than those who are fully vaccinated and boosted, according to new CDC information.The findings are based on information collected in early December.
