More Americans are getting their Covid-19 updated booster shots, new data shows, but Biden administration officials caution the recent uptake is still not enough
Data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention expected to be posted later Thursday and shared first with CNN show that 4.5 million Americans received the bivalent booster, which targets both the original strain of the coronavirus as well as the Omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5, over the past week. “In the first three weeks, we saw about 7.5 million shots; in the last three weeks, we’ve seen almost 12 .
“This is really important progress, but it’s not enough. We need everyone to step up and get their updated vaccine as soon as possible,” the official said. White House Covid-19 coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha echoed that warning.
