The Boston neighborhoods with the lowest COVID-19 vaccination rates â East Boston, Mattapan, and Dorchester â have endured some of the highest levels of coronavirus cases in the city, according to newly released data from the Boston Public Health Commission.
Conversely, the neighborhoods with the highest vaccination rates â including West Roxbury, the South End, and Jamaica Plain â have experienced much lower rates of infection since the beginning of the pandemic.
To ensure that doses reach the people living in Roxbury and surrounding neighborhoods, half of the appointments at the Lewis Center are being set aside every week, so community groups, such as the Black Boston COVID-19 Coalition, can fill them with eligible local residents.
