1/ NYC released its data on COVID vaccinations by race today. Among adults 18+, those vaccinated skew whiter. Black and Latinx NYCers are vaccinated at disproportionately lower rates. https://www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/covid/covid-19-data-vaccines.page
2/ Among adults 18-64, those vaccinated again skew whiter. Asians slightly overrepresented (perhaps because many work in healthcare?) Black and Latinx NYCers ages 18-64 are vaccinated at disproportionately lower rates.
3/ Among NYCers 65+, those vaccinated again skew whiter. Asians slightly underrepresented (perhaps less likely than older whites to be long-term care facility residents?) Black and Latinx ages 65+ are vaccinated at disproportionately lower rates.
4/ It would be interesting to see this breakdown among healthcare workers. While an imperfect measure of vaccine hesitancy, I would expect that race-related disparities in vaccination among healthcare workers would be more indicative of hesitancy than access.
