NEW YORK (AP) — 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.
The data also indicated that nearly 40% of adults said they probably or definitely will not get the shot.
In the late summer, government health officials made the nation's COVID-19 vaccination campaign more like the annual flu campaign.
Even so, health officials say about 18,000 hospitalization and 1,200 deaths are still being reported each week.
