28% (28,255) of PLWDH in NYS remained unvaccinated for COVID-19, a rate roughly double that observed in the overall adult NYS population. PLWDH of color were more often than non-Hispanic White persons to be unvaccinated, as were the virally unsuppressed and those without evidence of HIV-related care, threatening to expand existing disparities in COVID-19-related outcomes. Vaccination was protective against COVID-19-related hospitalizations for PLWDH; however, differences in hospitalization rates between fully vaccinated and unvaccinated PLWDH were smaller than those among all New Yorkers.
