Testimony on COVID-19 and Seniors in NYC

The NYCLU submitted testimony regarding oversight of COVID-19 and Seniors: Addressing Equity, Access to the Vaccine, and Scheduling Vaccination Appointments Online in NYC. As the Committees focus on seniors’ access to vaccines, it is critical to pay particular attention to which seniors have access to vaccines. The City must turn to trusted community groups to ensure that vaccine outreach and distribution is inclusive, effective, culturally competent, and linguistically accessible.
