More people are receiving a booster dose of a Covid-19 vaccine each day than are getting their first shot or are becoming fully vaccinated each day, according to data from the CDC
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.
And he was at the front of the line to get a booster, too."We were very concerned about Covid," he told CNN."I'm not elderly, but at the age of 67 I knew there was a substantial risk of hospitalization and even death from Covid. So I got my vaccine at the earliest possible date."Warschauer is leading a trend.
The last time she checked, she said, the next available appointment at the employee clinic was at the end of October. "It's a decently high demand," she said."Funny enough, when I was talking to the nurse who was administering my vaccine, she was saying to me it's nice that we have people who are so excited to come in again."
