If there’s one place where people could fear the coronavirus more than a vaccination needle, it s the Far Rockaway section of Queens: Nearly 460 residents of the seaside neighborhood have died of COVID-19.
That s one out of every 146 people who live there, making for one of New York City s highest death rates. And yet, no other place in the city has a lower percentage of vaccinated people.
As of Monday, only 29% of people living Far Rockaway’s ZIP code, 11691, had received even one vaccine dose, according to data from the New York City Health Department. That compares to a rate of 49% citywide and nationally.
