    Up to Date, Feeling Great

    This week, the U.S. COVID-19 Vaccination Program marks two milestones: 500 days since the first COVID-19 vaccine was approved for use in the United States, and 100 million first booster doses administered. While 100 million boosters is certainly something to celebrate, the fact remains that half of those eligible for a COVID-19 booster shot—about 91 million people—have not yet received one. Staying up to date with COVID-19 vaccines, including recommended boosters, is the safest way to protect against severe outcomes from COVID-19.

    Vaccines increase our protection against COVID-19, even for those with a previous COVID-19 infection. A new CDC study shows that the record number of infections during the Omicron wave gave many Americans infection-induced immunity. Between December 2021 and February 2022, the estimated percentage of the U.S. population with infection-induced antibodies increased from 34% to 58% across all age groups. The largest increases were in children and adolescents.

    Reinfections can occur. Everyone should stay up to date with recommended COVID-19 vaccinations, including boosters for those who are eligible. In the United States, this means a primary series for everyone ages 5 years and older and a booster for everyone ages 12 years and older. Some peoplepdf icon are also eligible to receive a second booster. Getting a COVID-19 vaccine is fast, easy, and free.
