Few get new shot for covid thus far
Federal officials rushed out the first new coronavirus shots -- reformulated to target the still-dominant omicron variants -- to give people time to get inoculated before a likely cold weather surge, when respiratory infections increase as people head indoors, and recommended that all Americans 12 and older receive a third and fourth dose of vaccine. But the campaigns have lagged badly. Early data shows that just over 11 million Americans -- or about 4% of those eligible -- have received the new bivalent booster shots.
