May 21, 2021

Responding to the need to overcome vaccination hesitancy, LinkNYC — which provides free Wi-Fi, phone calls, device charging and access to social services — has partnered with Vaccinate4Love to spread the message on New York's streets, according to a press release.

Digital displays with messages encouraging "Don't Hesitate — Vaccinate" are now featured on 1,800 kiosks throughout the greater New York City area. To date, vaccination rates for residents 18 and older vary dramatically by borough, ranging from 31% of adult residents in the Bronx fully vaccinated to 50% in Manhattan. Brooklyn has a 34% full vaccination rate among its residents, with Staten Island at 38% and Queens at 41%.
