Abstract:
We assessed COVID-19 vaccination coverage (≥1 dose, full vaccination, and booster vaccination) using a large, nationally representative survey of US households (December 29, 2021-January 10, 2022). Almost 1 in 6 adults have not been vaccinated or not been fully vaccinated, and almost one-half of fully vaccinated adults have not received a booster vaccine. All eligible individuals should receive the recommended number of vaccines to prevent further transmission of COVID-19.
