Less than 16% of the US population has received an updated COVID-19 booster, but HCPs can help increase rates. CDCgov MedTwitter
As 2023 began, less than 16% of the US population aged 5 years or older had received an updated COVID-19 booster. Only 2 out of every 5 adults aged 65 or older had recently gotten boosted.There's no getting around the fact that these are very disappointing statistics. This low rate of updated booster uptake is but one of many signs of the population's increasing COVID-19 fatigue after enduring a global pandemic that has stretched on for 3 years.
