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."
