Gallup Poll Finds COVID-19 Boosters Lagging Behind Flu Vaccines

The Hill (12/20, Irwin) reports, “Less than half of U.S. adults say they have gotten the annual flu shot this year and even less received the most recent COVID-19 booster shot, according to a new survey.” The Gallup poll “found that 47 percent of adults said they got the flu shot and 29 percent received the newest COVID-19 booster.” Additionally, “20 percent of respondents said they still plan to get the updated booster shot – but have not yet – and about half, 51 percent, say they do not plan to get the updated COVID-19 vaccine.”
