"NYC's Fall Boost: Seniors and Disabled Get COVID/Flu Shots in New Campaign"
New York City is launching a "vaccine equity" campaign to encourage older and disabled residents to get their COVID-19 and flu shots this fall and winter. The initiative, called NYC Community Partnerships for Vaccine Access and Equity (CompPass), will focus on distributing the shots in specific neighborhoods and allocate funds to hire community or faith-based groups to conduct on-the-ground efforts. The campaign aims to increase vaccination rates among vulnerable populations and limit the anticipated surge in flu and COVID-19 cases. The initiative is part of the city's Public Health Corps and is supported by federal funding.
