More than 25% of people vaccinated in New York City don’t actually live there, local publication The City reported Tuesday.

The city’s essential workers can get vaccines even if they live elsewhere — but non-essential workers from out of the city are also trying to get a shot, the city’s mayor said.

As of Monday, 216,014 people had received a vaccine in the city, The City reported. But almost 28% weren’t actually residents, it reported, citing data from the city’s COVID-19 vaccine tracking site.

Most of those getting the vaccine without living in the city were from elsewhere in New York State, the publication found. But around 7% of people getting the jab in the city were from New Jersey, it added.

A very small group were from Connecticut.
