Today, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released new data from the Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS) related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 supplement to the MCBS was administered during the winter of 2021 and asked Medicare beneficiaries about the impacts of the pandemic on their daily life, well-being, and the health care services they receive. In addition, beneficiaries were asked about their perceptions of the severity of the pandemic, their vaccination status, and their willingness to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
