State data continues to show that the CDC is overestimating uptake of the new 2023-24 covid vaccine. New Mexico is reporting that 5% of its total population had taken the new shot as of Dec 10, based on actual vaccination records. That share includes children who have low vaccination rates, so it's likely that a slightly higher 8% of NM's adult population has taken the new shot. What does the CDC report on its website for New Mexico based on its self-reported NIS phone survey? The CDC says 20% of NM adults had taken the new shot as of Dec 2. The CDC's estimates of new shot uptake are significantly inflated relative to what actual state vaccination records are showing.

Do you mean that less than 14 percent is the actual percentage???[/quote]
Yes. Since the OP posted, the CDC is now saying 18% of US adults have taken the new shot based on its phone survey. Looking at actual state vaccination data, however, the share is likely closer to 10-12%.[/quote]
That would explain some of the incentives being offered[/quote]
