The FDA and CDC approved a second booster for Americans over the age of 50, however, both organizations stopped short of recommending it for everyone who’s eligible. As a result, people are confused about what to do. This survey was first published in my newsletter Monthly Musings on American Healthcare. Here are the results:
My thoughts: It’s impressive that all those who responded to this survey indicated that they are vaccinated. Most already have received at least one booster. Moreover, the majority would get a second booster, themselves, if age-eligible. Most under 50 would recommend a second booster to their parents.
A special thanks to all those who voted. To participate in future surveys, and for access to timely news and opinion on American healthcare, sign up for my free (and ad-free) newsletter Monthly Musings on American Healthcare.
