More people are getting Covid-19 vaccine boosters than first shots

CNN  

CNN — Mark Warschauer, a professor of education at the University of California, Irvine, was “tremendously excited” about the authorization of Covid-19 vaccines, and happy when he became eligible to get his first doses. “I was happy to be able to have a chance to get a booster while I’m pregnant in the hopes that it will help keep my baby safe, too,” she said. “And also, you know, protecting my own health.” Meeting booster demand Zients said the Biden administration’s work around booster doses is “paying off.” “We estimate that 4 million Americans have now rolled up their sleeves and gotten a booster shot, including 2 million in the first week and another 2 million in just the last five days,” he said. “Our booster program is not only up and running, but it’s also accelerating and we’re building on our strong start to get millions of eligible Americans their booster shot.” The administration of booster doses may pose a challenge to some vaccine clinics as demand increases. “Mass vaccination clinics will likely be considered when and where there’s a need.” As an employee of the University of Michigan who runs Covid-19 testing sites, Alicia Kalsi, 26, was able to get her booster shot at an employee clinic early on in the booster rollout.
