CHICO, Calif. - The CDC reports that close to half of the U.S. has gotten at least one vaccine shot, yet about 8% of Americans have missed their second vaccine dose, up from 3.4% in March.
Kerri Schutte from Shasta County Public Health told Action News Now that some people might be forgetting their second appointment, or feel they have enough protection from the first.
She said some people might fear the reaction they could get from getting the second dose.
