Also on Tuesday, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo released data showing that white people are being vaccinated at a higher rate than expected based on their population in every region across the country. But black people are vaccinated in most regions at about half the expected rate.
In New York City, for example, 58 percent of the vaccinated were white, while white people, according to state data, make up only 52 percent of the eligible population. About 14.4 percent of those vaccinated were black, although black people make up more than 30 percent of the eligible population.
About 16 percent of those vaccinated in the city were Hispanic or Latino, but the Spanish or Latino people make up about 24 percent of the eligible population, according to state data.
Experts believe that people across the country live in underserved neighborhoods, face a variety of vaccination barriers, including registration systems and websites that can take hours to navigate, lack of transportation and difficulty finding time to ‘ to get a chance. Many people in color communities are likely to be reluctant to be vaccinated, given the history of unethical medical research in the United States.
Mr. De Blasio said Tuesday that a new vaccination system will open Wednesday at Teachers Preparatory High School in Brownsville, Brooklyn, and it will be open six days a week and give preference to their home health supporters and people living in Brownsville and East. New York.
“It’s about addressing inequality, doing something very tangible about it,” he said.
Another new vaccine will open at the Empire Outlets in Staten Island on Thursday, he said.

He said the city could vaccinate many more people every day if it could get more doses from the federal government.
