Ars Technica

@arstechnica our county is "95% at least one dose", but less than ⅓ got the bivalent booster: https://mstdn.science/@TompkinsNYCOVID/110459238517110297

Getting a flu shot 2 years ago isn't going to help you much this coming winter...

Aside: the bot broke last week because the CDC stopped tracking vaccines 3 weeks ago, since federal funding got dropped.
