1/ NYC data on demographics of those who have received COVID-19 vaccines to date. The picture isn't pretty. 29.2% of city residents are Latino. They are overrepresented among essential workers, most vulnerable to infection, but make up only 15% of those vaccinated. 
2/ Only 11% of African Americans--24.3 percent of New Yorkers--have received vaccines. Predominantly African American neighborhoods in the city have been hit especially hard by the pandemic.
3/ Whites are over represented among those who have been vaccinated thus far. New York City's population is 42.7% white, but whites make up 48% of those vaccinated.
4/ Only Asian-Americans, 14% of the NYC population, are proportionately represented in the pool of those who have been vaccinated so far (15%).
5/ The data have limitations. The race or ethnicity of 40% of vaccine recipients in NYC was not reported. The category "other" comprises 10% of those vaccinated.
6/ So any conclusions based on these data must be preliminary. The city will continue to report--and with luck, the quality of the data will improve over time.
