More than 32 million americans have already had a booster shot, and now those numbers are expected to shoot up as Americans look to boost their immunity heading into the holidays. Only about 30 % of the eligible adults have gott n their booster shots at this point. And then we've also got, you know, another 30% of the population that's totally unvaccinated.
