00:00 Unfortunately, COVID is still a problem, and now there are new vaccines available to combat
00:06 the current variants.
00:07 The FDA approved COVID boosters that are now available from Pfizer and Moderna.
00:12 The CDC is recommending them for everyone over the age of six months old, which means
00:17 almost everyone is eligible for the boosters.
00:20 The question is whether the public will get them.
00:24 According to The Hill, only 17 percent of the population is up to date on their COVID
00:30 vaccinations.
00:31 In a press release, the CDC said, "Vaccination remains the best protection against COVID-19-related
00:36 hospitalization and death.
00:39 Those who are older and immunocompromised are especially encouraged to get boosted."
