QBP RICHARDS ON QUEENS REACHING 1 MILLION RESIDENTS VACCINATED

First County in New York State to Reach Milestone

QUEENS, NY – Queens Borough President Donovan Richards Jr. stated the following in response to Queens becoming the first county in New York State to have 1 million residents receive at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine — a milestone The World’s Borough hit today, April 23, according to the State Department of Health.

“One year ago today, Queens was the epicenter of the epicenter of the world’s worst public health crisis in more than a century. To go from those dark days to this afternoon, as Queens becomes the first county in the State to have 1 million residents receive at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, is a testament to the unrivaled strength and resilience of our borough.

“To all our healthcare heroes and frontline essential workers who selflessly served Queens in our time of need, we are eternally in your debt. To all those who lost a loved one to this pandemic, our hearts are always with you. To the 1 million Queens residents who have received a vaccine, thank you for doing your part to keep our communities safe.

“It’s never been easier to get vaccinated. With each resident who gets their shots, we get one step closer to building our borough back better than ever.”
