All NYC Adults Are Vaccine Eligible but Access Gaps Remain - a podcast by WNYC

As vaccine eligibility expands around the county the question remains: Is everyone eligible getting the shot and if not, is it because of hesitancy or difficulty scheduling appointments? In a series of conversations, Mitra Kalita, co-founder of URL Media and CEO and publisher of Epicenter-NYC, joins to talk about how some communities still face challenges in accessing the vaccine. Today she's joined by Victor Peralta, MD, a pediatrician at Elmhurst Hospital and a member of SOMOS Community Care, a health network predominantly located in lower income neighborhoods that recently partnered with the State to administer vaccines.
