Lax vax in NYC’s poorer nabes

New York City’s poorer neighborhoods are still being left behind in the race to vaccinate against COVID-19, despite promises from Mayor de Blasio and Gov. Cuomo to improve equity, data show.

Queens’ Citi Field ballpark is home to one of the city’s highest-profile vaccination hubs, yet its ZIP code, 11368, is the third-least vaccinated across the five boroughs, according to a Post analysis.

Just 20.2 percent of residents in that ZIP code — which covers portions of Corona and Flushing — have received at least one dose of a coronavirus vaccine, well below the citywide average of 31 percent.

“It’s mind-boggling, it’s unacceptable, it’s beyond ridiculous that we’re having this conversation,” said Queens Borough President Donovan Richards. “This is a matter of life and death for these communities.”

The vaccination hub at Yankee Stadium appears to be having more success, with roughly 29 percent of the residents in its South Bronx ZIP code of 10451 having gotten at least one shot.

The Post’s analysis found that the city’s most-vaccinated ZIP code is 11697, which covers the enclave of Breezy Point in Queens, where g 70.3 percent of residents in the largely white neighborhood have received at least one shot.

The rest of the city’s 10 most-vaccinated zip codes lie in the wealthy and white Manhattan precincts south of 110th Street, which have dominated the city’s social and political life for decades.

The least-vaccinated New York City ZIP codes are: Far Rockaway’s 11691 (19.2 percent); Hunts Point’s 10474 (19.3 percent); Corona/Flushing’s 11368 (20.2 percent); East New York’s 11207 (20.3 percent); BedStuy/Crown Heights’ 11233 (20.3 percent); Brownsville’s 11212 (20.7 percent); East New York’s 11208 (20.8 percent); Laurelton’s 11413 (21.1 percent); Canarsie’s 11236 (21.3 percent); Borough Park’s 11219 (21.3 percent); and Rosedale’s 11422 (21.3 percent).
