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.
Tell them you don’t have insurance, also refuse to show them your ID. The vaccine is free to anyone who wants it in territory controlled by the US government. Last booster I got I stood my ground.
Insurance?
Doesn’t matter since the vaccine is free
So you don’t have insurance?
Again. Vaccine is free.
I need your insurance information.
No, you really don’t. The bill goes to the US government not the insurance company and you are clearly asking so your employer can get me into your system. I don’t have to say anything about my insurance and I won’t. So if you want to write down no on your form you can but I am not going to tell you one way or another.
