Behind the Times?
Seems to me that this app doesn't do much to encourage people to go get vaccinated for COVID-19.
I've been following the Data Tracker for this new disease almost since the first phases, when the big news was still in China and on cruise ships. It makes no sense to me that the CDC is still listing, among its "easy-access" [my expression] data points, the percentage of Americans who have received "at least one" of the three separate injections required for optimum immunity.
If the CDC continues to publish that lackadaisical statistic, it should also present the results of a study showing the percentages of people who still contracted COVID-19 within, say, one year after receiving (1) only the first inoculation, not the second one and not the booster; (2) the first two shots but not the booster; (3) all three shots.
Either do the study--or save that money, because you would otherwise be spending it (again) to re-rationalize the current protocol. Instead, post the following message loud and clear on the CDC website: "Folks, if you want optimal immunity ASAP, you gotta get two full shots plus a booster--spaced properly apart. And this virus isn't going to go away. We're already trying to figure out the subsequent inoculations that we'll all need in order to maintain immunity over the next two, three, four years."
How else is the CDC going to motivate full and ongoing compliance with its recommendations, now and in future years?

Would be a useful app but...
Links within articles don’t open. There are lots of excellent daily articles. However, what should be informative content is hindered by links that do not open (in particular, the what you need to know about coronavirus one)
Informational App
The CDC app provides great factual information that can be used by anyone. It provides relevant information for what is currently happening through out the world. One thing that I wish was more up to date would be their statistics. There has been great changes in health the last few years so more recent statistics could better inform our society.
