In Jamaica, Queens, Victoria Robinson, a community health worker at the senior care facility India Home, said she’s noticed “little interest” in the new vaccine from the New Yorkers she talks to every day.

First, because it targets a subvariant of the virus that is “much close to the currently circulating subvariants” than any previous shot. “It’s important to remember that while the risk of death and hospitalization from COVID-19 may have gone down, there are still people suffering from more severe outcomes from COVID-19 and many are still developing long COVID,” he said.The primary administrators of the new vaccine are Walgreens and CVS pharmacies, which have partnered with the federal government to deliver shots to those who need them.vaccines.
