Declining COVID-19 Vaccination Rates Raise Concerns Ahead of Holidays

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has expressed concern over the low COVID-19 vaccination rates, with only 15% of adults and 5% of children having received the latest vaccine. As respiratory virus season ramps up, the CDC warns that low vaccination rates are leaving many at risk. COVID-19 hospitalizations are on the rise, and the CDC emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated to reduce the severity of the virus. Flu and RSV levels are also increasing, with most respiratory virus hospitalizations being among people with COVID-19. The CDC urges older adults and high-risk populations to get vaccinated, highlighting racial and ethnic disparities in vaccination rates.

Over 36 Million American Adults Vaccinated with Updated COVID Vaccine: CDC

Approximately 36 million American adults and 3.5 million children have received the updated COVID-19 vaccine, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This accounts for about 13.9% of the adult population, which is lower than the percentage of adults who expressed intent to get vaccinated in a September poll. The updated vaccine targets current variants, including XBB, and is available in formulations by Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and Novavax. The same CDC survey also revealed that a significant number of adults and children have received the flu and RSV vaccines. Respiratory illness activity remains low in most areas of the U.S., indicating a return to the usual timing of the "cold and flu" season.

Low COVID-19 Vaccination Rates Among Americans, CDC Reports

Less than 5% of Utahns have received the latest COVID-19 shot, which is lower than the national average. The slow uptake is attributed to a lack of public interest and awareness. While there has been an increase in vaccinations among older adults, the number of children receiving the vaccine remains low. A recent CDC survey revealed that a significant percentage of adults and parents are hesitant to get vaccinated. The rollout of the new vaccine has faced challenges, including distribution issues and insurance coverage. Utah's vaccination numbers come amidst a slight increase in hospitalizations for COVID-19 and elevated levels of the virus in wastewater samples.
