Both NYC and state are reporting their lowest positivity rates since that metric started to be reported in the early days of the pandemic.

Nearly 57% of New York adults are fully vaccinated to date, while more than 54% of those in the city can say the same; vaccination rates have plateaued though in the last month and a half.

Officials locally and nationally are introducing new incentive programs to encourage vaccination; NY’s first college scholarship raffle draw for kids age 12 to 17 who got dosed is scheduled for Wednesday.
