"Over 7 Million Americans Receive Updated Covid-19 Vaccines Despite Rocky Rollout"

More than 7 million Americans have received the updated Covid-19 vaccines, according to the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The uptake of the new vaccines appears to be slower compared to last year's booster, with concerns raised about children not being adequately vaccinated. Distribution delays and challenges in finding doses have been reported, as the vaccine rollout has shifted to the private market. The HHS is working with manufacturers and distributors to ensure vaccines reach pharmacies, hospitals, clinics, and other vaccination sites. There is also growing concern about older adults not getting vaccinated against Covid-19, flu, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).
