Insignificant raw difference in hospitalizations between Omicron and Delta, but different age/vax status distributions, so who knows what that means in reality.
according to CDC data, 94% of adults in New York state have at least one shot
the rate is 88% based on New York state data
the website above explains the differences as
ā% of Population (CDC)ā represents the total number of New Yorkers vaccinated anywhere and by anyone as reported by CDC, including state, local and private vaccination providers (includes Federal entities such as Veteransā Hospitals and New Yorkers who received their vaccinations in other states) as a percent of the total New York population over the age of 18.
āTotalā represents the total number of individuals vaccinated in New York State by state, local and private vaccination providers as reported to NYSIIS and CIR.
ā% of Populationā represents New York residents vaccinated in New York State by state, local and private vaccination providers as a percent of the total New York population over the age of 18.
Interestingly, according to the seemingly less complete state data, the % of adults with at least one vax is 97% in Manhattan and 99% in Queens
I donāt even live in the city and anecdotally I donāt know anyone who is not vaxxed at this point. There are so many employer vaccine requirements, etc. I believe it.
Yes, bt I mean itās the confluence of so many different reasons to get vaccinated in NYC that I believe the vaccination rates you are reading are that high.
Oh, yeah, I believe that. Iām just saying that an unvaxxed person who doesnāt need it for employment can do pretty much anything else with a trivial amount of effort.
Any business owner or employee who has checked for my card has glanced at it for no more than a fraction of a second.
I guess NYC is more strict that what I experience around me. In the last couple of months I have had about 50 requests to see proof of vax. Zero asked for ID.
