An estimated 36 million adults in the United States have received the updated COVID-19 vaccine as of Monday, according to new data from the federal government.
Additionally, about 3.5 million children have also gotten the updated shot, according to the survey, which is a sample size of the U.S. population, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
This is roughly equal to the number of Americans who had received the bivalent booster — which was targeted against different COVID variants — by this time last year.
