Abstract

We assessed COVID-19 booster vaccination coverage and reasons for non-receipt using a large, nationally representative survey (June - August, 2022). Booster vaccination coverage was 71.7% among adults, 36.8% among children, and 51.6% among adolescents. Reasons for non-receipt included the belief that it was not necessary and lack of time for vaccination. All eligible individuals should receive the updated booster vaccines as soon as possible to protect against new variants of COVID-19.<br /> (Copyright © 2023 Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, Inc.
