Shapiro Won’t Discuss No-Booster CES 2022 Policy Until After the Show

January 3, 2022 by Paul Gluckman|CES

CTA President Gary Shapiro “will be pleased" to discuss, "sometime after CES," why the association's show policy didn’t require COVID-19 booster shots for the fully vaccinated, he emailed our affiliated Consumer Electronics Daily Tuesday. “Right now my focus is on CES 2022 where we have lots going on and over 2100 exhibitors.” Nearly 36% of the 188 million fully vaccinated U.S. adults have gotten boosters, reported the Centers for Disease Control and Protection Thursday. There has been no change in CTA policy since Aug. 17 when the association announced a full CES 2022 vaccine mandate (see 2108170038), saying no boosters would be required “at this time.”
