According to the CDC themselves, nearly 70% of adults 20 and over are overweight. When you factor in those with high-risk jobs and other medical conditions (plus all J&J recipients), it comes to about 89% of all American adults being eligible.

This. I don't have any underlying conditions other than weight. Got my booster shot last Monday. Slightly sore arm, hardly enough to notice.
Back in April, I worried, because then you had to be obese and I was right on the line between obese and overweight. But no one asked questions and I got the shot, a good thing, because my husband is high risk. He is now boosted as well.
