This is interesting. The booster has been available since August. Among the vaccinated, the over 65 demographic is leading the way. Except with the booster.
Sixteen percent of people 65 and older and taken the 3rd jab. This issn't looking good for Team Biden in his efforts to bully Americans into taking the vaccine. The more he pushes, the more the heels get dug in.

The regular vaccination process may not provide the same protection against the virus for immunocompromised people as it does the general population. In August, the Food and Drug Administration approved the use of an additional dose of two COVID-19 vaccines — manufactured by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna — for people who have weakened immune systems. The CDC recommends an additional dose for this group of people at least four weeks after getting a second dose.
Booster shots are intended to increase immunity after the effects of full vaccination weaken. In September, the CDC approved a third shot of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for people 65 and older, any adults who live in a long-term care setting, those with underlying medical conditions, or people who work or live in a high-risk setting. The CDC recommends the booster shot at six months after the second dose of the vaccine. Both Moderna and Johnson & Johnson are waiting for FDA approval for booster doses for their vaccines.
Sixteen percent of people 65 and older, about 8.5 million people, have gotten a third shot as of October 12.

How many Americans have gotten an additional COVID-19 vaccine, including booster shots?
With 58% of Americans fully vaccinated, 4% of Americans have received an additional dose either because they have a weak immune system, or they were approved for a booster shot.
