PBS News Hour

How the pandemic made public health politically charged

Season 2023 Episode 351 | 12m 47s

Just over 15 percent of American adults have gotten the latest COVID booster. Demand for the vaccine has dropped sharply since it was first introduced at the height of the pandemic. That's partly because the government's response to COVID-19 has been so politically charged. Judy Woodruff discussed that with public health experts for her series, America at a Crossroads.
