Nearly 4 in 10 seniors received a COVID-19 vaccine this year, reflecting a significant increase compared to last year's rates, indicating improved vaccine uptake.
According to the CDC, 37.6% of Americans aged 65 and older received this season's COVID-19 vaccine as of Nov. 2, compared to 22.6% last year.
Unlike COVID-19 vaccine rates, influenza vaccination among seniors remains stable at 55.3%, showing no significant changes from the previous year.
Health officials attributed the improved vaccination rates to better timing of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, occurring alongside flu shot promotions for better accessibility.
