White House encourages booster shots as 90% of COVID deaths occur among the elderly

COVID's prevalence in the U.S. is much lower than it was during the past two winters, but it is hardly behind us. The U.S. is on pace to lose more than 150,000 Americans during this third year of the pandemic. The Biden administration is concerned and is trying to encourage the use of the booster. White House COVID Response Coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha joined Judy Woodruff to discuss the campaign.
