NYC Health Department releases new data showing disparity in monkeypox vaccine access
Elisa Crespo, the executive director of the New Pride Agenda, an LGBTQ+ statewide education and advocacy nonprofit, says it's concerning but not surprising.
"Organizations worked together to submit a letter to the mayor and governor to release this vaccination data because we suspected there were going to be inequities," Crespo says.
To confront what the city says are inequities, they're adding additional mobile vaccine clinics and awarding $5 million to 28 community-based organizations across the five boroughs while also conducting both in-person and online outreach.
