The rate of New Yorkers turning out to get their first COVID-19 vaccine shot has been increasing in recent weeks following news of an increasing number of cases of the CCP virus as well as the recent announcement of a proof-of-vaccine requirement for patrons of restaurants and other businesses.
More than 100,000 people received the first of two vaccine shots in the seven days ending Aug. 14, doubling the number from five weeks ago. The uptick follows a dramatic slowdown in vaccination rates in the prior months.
