Dr. Celia Quinn provides vaccination rates by borough and race/ethnicity in New York City, highlighting significant disparities.
- Vaccination rates vary by borough and race/ethnicity, with Staten Island and the Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander group showing the lowest rates for certain vaccines.
- Coverage rates for 2-year-olds by borough show the lowest rates in Brooklyn (51%) and Staten Island (50%), while rates for the MMR vaccine are higher overall due to school requirements.
- Significant disparities exist in vaccination coverage among different races and ethnicities, with non-Hispanic black and Hispanic/Latino populations generally showing higher coverage than white and other minority groups.
- Dr. Quinn emphasizes the importance of vaccine access, uptake, and confidence in addressing these disparities.
- Detailed vaccination coverage numbers will be provided to the council, highlighting the ongoing effort to understand and improve vaccination rates across New York City.

Can you provide an overview of the current vaccination rates in New York City that's broken down by demographic factors such as race, socioeconomic status, religion, and burrow.
0:48:29
And which borough has the lowest vaccination rate of MMR, DTAP, polio, and and various The chicken box.
0:48:40
Thank you.
Dr. Celia Quinn
0:48:41
Sure.
0:48:42
So the way that we tend to look at vaccine bridge.
0:48:46
First of all, this is data that's coming out of the city wide immunization registry in terms of people who have had that vaccine administered.
0:48:52
And then the coverage part is looking at and out of the number of people that we estimate to be in that age cohort based on the census.
0:49:00
So I think in your opening remarks, you also mentioned that we have some difficulty estimating the denominator, especially for the youngest cohort of children because they weren't born yet when sense has occurred.
0:49:10
So so I just want people to understand what what I'm saying when I'm using these rates uncovered talking about coverage rates.
0:49:18
We also use them that metric of up to date by age 35 months with the 7 vaccine series, again, each of those vaccines has multiple doses required.
0:49:31
So for that two year old measure.
0:49:35
I can just read out what the coverage rates were by borough.
0:49:38
Bronx was 69% Brooklyn 51%, Manhattan 71%, Queens 64%, and Staten Island, 50%.
0:49:48
We also have that same metric broken out by race and ethnicity.
0:49:55
So I I well, do you want me to just read all of them?
0:50:00
So for black non Hispanic, 54%, Hispanic, Latino, 60 6%, white non Hispanic 45%, American Indian non Hispanic, 34%, Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander 74% and or more races, non Hispanics, 16%.
0:50:17
So there's a pretty wide range.
0:50:20
Right.
0:50:20
That's the kind of takeaway.
0:50:22
I also have the name coverage numbers for just the MMR for that's for the ages 4 to 6.
0:50:28
Yep.
UNKNOWN
0:50:29
Okay.
Francisco P. Moya
0:50:30
If you don't mind.
Dr. Celia Quinn
0:50:31
I don't.
Francisco P. Moya
0:50:32
It's it's just helpful to get
Dr. Celia Quinn
0:50:33
those No.
0:50:33
I think it's a it's a really important question because we do have a lot of variation and Right.
0:50:39
These outcomes, and it really points to important issues about access, uptake, vaccine confidence, etcetera.
0:50:44
So I I do appreciate you asking that question.
0:50:46
Okay.
0:50:48
We can send the numbers to counsel afterwards too.
Francisco P. Moya
0:50:50
So That'd be great.
0:50:51
Okay.
Dr. Celia Quinn
0:50:54
So this is for MMR, which is measles month rubella completing the entire 2 dose series within a in the age 4 to 6.
0:51:02
So overall, 85 percent coverage.
0:51:06
For Burrow, 87 Bronx was 87%, Brooklyn 84%, Manhattan 88 cent.
0:51:13
Queen's 89%.
0:51:14
Staten Island 76%.
0:51:17
And then for race ethnicity, black non Hispanic, 79%, Hispanic, Latino, 82%, white, 76%, American, Indian, not Hispanic, 48%, Native Hawaiian Pacific Island are non Hispanic 73% and 2 or more races non Hispanic 19%.
0:51:35
You would just look at those borough numbers.
0:51:37
Just wanna point out that because MMR is one of the required vaccines for school and many four and five girls are in school already, we have much better coverage for that one compared to the younger age group, and that's one of the key things that we've been talking about today.
Francisco P. Moya
0:51:49
It I'm sorry.
0:51:50
Did you say Queen's was 89%.
0:51:53
Yes.
0:51:53
Okay.
0:51:54
Great.
0:51:54
Thank you.
