Federal figures show only 15 per cent of the population aged five and up had received an updated vaccine by Dec. 3. And while older age groups had higher uptake rates, more than half of higher-risk older adults still hadn't gotten a dose by early December, either.
The shots, tailored to the XBB.1.5 Omicron subvariant, are meant to shore up protection against the SARS-CoV-2 descendants currently circulating.

I really don't understand people. It takes 15 minutes to go to a pharmacy and get flu and covid shots. Somehow less than half of people over 70 have got it. Why? And if you have any additional risk factors, why not? And if you just don't like being sick(I see many people bitching in threads here about being sick), then why not do it?
Baffling.
