As of Friday almost 39 percent of residents in the 11691 ZIP code have had at least one dose and 34.22 percent are fully vaccinated. Citywide, those numbers are 60.7 percent and 55.4 percent, respectively, according to health department data.

“The lack of information is why people miss out on things, because they are not doing the proper outreach in order to inform folks that this is out here,” said Jazmine Outlaw, executive director of the Rockaway Youth Task Force.

The eastern edge of the Rockaway Peninsula in Southeast Queens has the lowest vaccination rate in the city.
