BEIJING (Reuters) – Only 19.7% of people aged over 80 in China have received a COVID-19 vaccine booster, while 50.7% of that age group have completed their primary vaccinations, a health official said on Friday.
“The percentage is still relatively low,” Zeng Yixin, deputy director of the National Health Commission, told a news briefing.
