DC Older Adults Share Why They Got Booster Shots

On Dec. 17, ACL Principal Deputy Administrator Alison Barkoff and CMS Administrator Chiquita Brooks-LaSure joined a combined holiday party and booster clinic at the the East of the River Friendship Cafe (Kenilworth) in Washington, D.C.  to talk with older adults about COVID-19 vaccine boosters. Many of the people they spoke with already had gotten their boosters, and more than 25 others were scheduled to get theirs that day.  A few of them agreed to help us spread the word about the importance and urgency of boosters. In this clip, you can hear from them directly about why they got boosted — and why everyone should.
