Mattapan has the fewest vaccinated residents in Boston

Despite incentives to get vaccinated, including a chance to win a million-dollar lottery, the Boston neighborhood of Mattapan has the fewest vaccinated residents in the city, with only 37 percent of people fully vaccinated. Citywide, more than 57 percent of people are fully immunized. Community leaders, in partnership with the city, have offered walk-in and at-home vaccinations, educational town halls, and more to try to encourage people to get their shots. But some worry it's not working. "We have a mixed population that is very diverse … and people have some misconceptions," said Fatima Ali-Salaam, chair of the Greater Mattapan Neighborhood Council.
