Queens neighborhoods impacted most by COVID-19 to get increased vaccine sites
Councilman Francisco Moya, who represents Elmhurst and Corona, where he is a lifelong resident and currently represents, pledged his support for Miller’s resolution.
“We cannot combat this pandemic if we are not truly prioritizing the communities most impacted by COVID-19,” Moya said. “These are Latino, Black and immigrant communities, families in multigenerational homes, seniors most at risk, and the workers that kept our city running. We need more expeditious, equitable and accessible rollout of the vaccine to protect the communities that have suffered the worst of this crisis. Our families are counting on us to act fast and responsibly to stop new infections and hospitalizations. With the one-year anniversary of the COVID-19 pandemic and new variants of the virus emerging in the U.S., we are in a race against the clock to save lives.”
