This Gothamist headline yesterday read that "Most Of New York City Remains Undervaccinated."
Vaccine hesitancy and barriers to access are cited as among the top reasons why more residents haven't received at least one dose of the vaccine.
Per Gothamist:
About 44% of New York City residents have received at least one COVID-19 shot, and about 32% are fully vaccinated. But some neighborhoods are much further along than others. In wealthier and whiter zip codes, more than two-thirds of residents are at least partially vaccinated (one zip code in the Financial District is at 89%). Most neighborhoods in upper Manhattan, Queens, The Bronx, Brooklyn and Staten Island are well below half their populations being fully vaccinated.
The article includes a map of vaccinations by zip code via statistics by the NYC Department of Health.
Here's a look at zip codes in this area:
10009
Partially vaccinated: 58 percent
Fully vaccinated: 42 percent
10003
Partially vaccinated: 62 percent
Fully vaccinated: 45 percent
10002
Partially vaccinated: 60 percent
Fully vaccinated: 43 percent
As of late April, appointments are no longer necessary at
city- and
state-run vaccination sites. The COVID vaccine finder is
here.
You can also schedule an appointment for certain vaccination sites by calling 877-VAX-4NYC (877-829-4692). Free transportation to vaccination appointments in NYC is available for city residents 65 and older and those with disabilities who have no other way to get to a vaccination site. To arrange for transportation, call 877-VAX-4NYC (877-829-4692).
Mayor de Blasio has set a goal of vaccinating 5 million New Yorkers by July 1.
