Few Americans have received the latest vaccines against the coronavirus: Just over 7 percent of adults and 2 percent of children had received the shot as of Oct. 14, according to a survey presented on Thursday to scientific advisers to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The uptake is weak even among those most at risk of severe illness. Only one in five people age 75 or older has been vaccinated, along with about 15 percent of those ages 65 to 74, according to the survey of nearly 15,000 people.

Think you can still just tell them you have no insurance

depends on the state. where I am, only certain businesses will give you a free COVID shot without insurance. costco has $20 flu shots, cheapest around for uninsured people, but doesn't do the COVID program

The place you are getting a covid shot at needs to be part of the "bridge-access program", which is usually walmart, rite-aid, and cvs. The place where I got my vaccine didn't even know about the program. Otherwise, it's 200 bux.
