Park Slope Has Second-Highest Vaccination Rate In Brooklyn: Data

PARK SLOPE, BROOKLYN — A higher percent of Park Slope residents have been vaccinated against the coronavirus than almost any other neighborhood in the borough, new data shows.

A newly released set of data by the city on Tuesday shows the percentage of residents in each New York City ZIP code that have already gotten at least one of the vaccination shots.

In Park Slope, 5,383 people have been fully vaccinated and another 6,701 people have gotten one of their two shots in the 11215 and 11217 ZIP codes. 11215 includes the majority of the neighborhood and part of Gowanus, while 11217 includes the northern portion of Park Slope and Boerum Hill.

Those numbers mean that between 5 and 6 percent of residents in the ZIP codes are fully vaccinated, according to the data.

The vaccination rate put Park Slope near the top of the list in terms of all neighborhoods where the most New Yorkers have gotten the vaccine.

In Brooklyn specifically, Park Slope's 11215 ZIP code was only surpassed by 11201 — which stretches over Brooklyn Heights, Dumbo and parts of Downtown Brooklyn — in the percentage of its residents that were fully vaccinated. 11217 was fourth on the list for the borough.

Brooklyn as a whole has the lowest vaccination rate of all five boroughs.

Neighborhoods with the highest vaccination rates across the city include City Island, parts of Queens and many wealthy Manhattan ZIP codes, while the lowest rates are largely in low-income or minority neighborhoods that were hardest hit by the virus.

In total, 10 percent of all New Yorkers have now received at least one dose of coronavirus vaccine.

The data has sparked debate about the city's efforts to vaccinate people of color and disadvantaged New Yorkers who both bore the pandemic's brunt, which Mayor Bill de Blasio has said is a priority in the vaccine's rollout.

As low as 2 percent of people have been fully vaccinated in many of the 33 hard hit neighborhoods de Blasio targeted in a push to ensure vaccine "equity."
