CDC Report Shows That , 13.9% of US Adults , Have Received an Updated COVID Vaccine.

ABC reports that as of November 13, approximately 36 million adults in the United States have received an updated COVID-19 vaccine.

According to new data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 3.5 million children have also received an updated shot.

.

Compared to 2022, that figure is roughly equal to the number of Americans who received a bivalent booster by this time of the year.

.

ABC points out that the numbers mean that only 13.9% of adults in the U.S. have been vaccinated.

In September, a poll conducted by the KFF COVID-19 Vaccine Monitor suggested that nearly twice as many adults said they planned to get the vaccine.

According to that poll, 23% of adults said they were "definitely" planning on getting the updated booster, while another 23% said they would "probably" get one.

The latest vaccine targets variants currently in circulation, which are an offshoot of the Omicron variant known as XBB.

Both Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna have formulations intended for people six months and older, while Novavax offers a dose for those over the age of 12.

According to public health experts, people should receive respiratory virus vaccines by the end of October, but it's never too late.

.

This year's numbers, aligning more closely with pre-COVID patterns, indicate a reestablishment of typical 'cold and flu' season dynamics.

However, we still have to see how the rest of the respiratory virus season plays out to know for sure, Dr. John Brownstein, epidemiologist and chief innovation officer at Boston Children's Hospital, via ABC
