Two thirds of U.S. adults don’t plan on getting COVID boosters soon

Around two-thirds of adults in the United States do not plan to get updated COVID-19 booster shots soon, according to a survey conducted by the
Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF), a health policy nonprofit organization.
Only a third of adults polled said they either already received the updated shots or plan to get the booster as soon as possible, the poll found.
The Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna Inc shots, updated to target more recently circulating Omicron subvariants of the coronavirus as well as the original
strain, were authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration late last month.
Around 18% said they would wait and see whether they would get the new booster shot, while 10% said they would only get it if it was required. Around 12% of adults surveyed said they would definitely not get the shot, while 27% said they were not eligible because they were not fully vaccinated.
