NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst received its Covid vaccine Tuesday â after Northwell LIJ Medical Center in Glen Oaks was in the first group to receive it.
âIt is strange,â Councilman Danny Dromm (D-Jackson Heights) told the Chronicle, adding, âIt makes one wonder why it was done the way in which it was done.â
Elmhurst Hospital was considered to be âthe epicenter of the epicenterâ during the worst of the pandemic and the area has a strong Hispanic and Asian population. City and state officials often have talked about making sure brown, black and poor community members are able to take the vaccine.
Nearly a month after Election Day, the New York City Board of Elections finally released its official results for the 2020 general election, which may be a hard pill to swallow for Democrats.
While thereâs no surprise that former Vice President Joe Biden won the largest share of the vote in a city where the majority of registered voters are Democrats, the final results show President Donald Trump building on his support from the last election cycle. Across the city, Trump improved his performance in most Assembly districts.
New York City swung toward Trump by 4.7 points between 2016 and 2020, according to the certified city BOE results.
