AAPI adults have the highest vaccination rate in NYC, but advocates say figure masks wide disparities
Asian American and Pacific Islanders in New York City have the highest rate of vaccination among adult residents with at least one Covid-19 shot, according to New York City’s Citywide Immunization Registry.
However, community advocates say the achievement hides disparities that remain between groups that happen to fall under the same demographic umbrella.
Asian American, Native Hawaiian and additional Pacific Islander adults over the age of 18 come first citywide, with 69% reported to have received at least one shot in arm. The next-highest group is Native American and Alaska native, with 63% of city adults with at least one dose, according to city data.
