New York State will spend $15 million to target communities with low vaccination rates but high levels of new cases, including in 21 Long Island ZIP codes, in an effort to get more people vaccinated against COVID-19.
The program will focus on 117 ZIP codes throughout the state, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said Monday, and will use community-based organizations to reach people who have declined to get the shot.
The majority of the communities — some 61% — are in New York City. The Long Island communities represent 18% of the total and include parts of Calverton, Wyandanch, Elmont and elsewhere. The 117 ZIP codes overall contain 6.7% of the state’s population and many of the locations are in poor, largely minority communities, Cuomo said.
Cuomo announced the program as new confirmed cases of the virus continue to rise, with the numbers in New York State increasing sixfold in the last month.
New daily cases jumped from 346 on June 26 to 1,982 in test results from Sunday, the governor said.
Some 75% of adults in the state have received at least one dose of the vaccine, Cuomo said. But that leaves 25% who have not — a total of 3.5 million people.
Only 0.15% of people in the state who are vaccinated have become infected with the virus, Cuomo added, saying "the vaccines work, and it’s proven in the numbers."
The community groups and the money they will receive are: $5.5 million to the Hispanic Federation; $5.5 million to the Federation of Protestant Welfare Agencies; $1 million to the New York Immigration Coalition; $1 million to the Asian American Federation; $1 million to the Charles B. Wang Community Center; and $1 million to the APICHA Community Health Center.

Isn’t cuomo the same governor who sent sick covid positive patients into nursing homes to infect the residents and staff killing thousands?
I mean, We know bidens DOJ drooped the charges on this earlier this e
Week, but what does he care about this?
Not on my computer.
Works fine........... I use ‘Brave’ browser.............
The CDC says that while blacks are 13% of the population, they are only 9% of the cohort who has received at least one jab.
Wouldn't it be an interesting dilemma for progressives if they had to make good on their threats - and start banning poor blacks from public spaces or threatening them if they don't get the jab?
Nazi dictator wants to know where you are, congress passed law last week to exonerate these state scumbags who murdered nursing home family members, nice to be forgiven for murder
I hate my computer. I use my iPhone for everything now.
Good.
Ah, the MS-13 enclaves

That map illustrates the lie that it’s white Trump supporters who aren’t getting vaccinated.
