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,

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

The Houthis have reported that all casualties in Hodeida from a recent U.S.-UK assault were civilians and have vowed a "painful response" to Americans. The U.S. Navy aircraft carrier Eisenhower, now in the Red Sea and past its 200-day deployment mark, faces relentless Houthi attacks. The Red Sea, carrying around 20% of the world's maritime trade, is a key route to Europe via the Suez Canal, though less critical to America.
