"These infections tend to be both more common and more severe in older adults... cases have been rising in the years since coronavirus lockdowns slowed disease transmission."
"The idea is if we can vaccinate more people fairly and equitably, that we will reduce the morbidity and mortality disparity."
"As of 2022, only around 24 percent of adults had reported ever getting a pneumococcal vaccine, according to the C.D.C."
"I've been hoping for this for some time... the new guideline on Wednesday... recommends vaccinating children under 5 as well."
