Whom to call at RI Health Dept to inquire about notification for 2 nonagenarians with underlying medical conditions (not in nursing home but at Laurelmead) for vaccinations?
Individuals should keep watching the RI Dept of Health website – right now there are no sign-ups – only for residents of Central Falls. HOWEVER! if you are residents of Laurelmead you should be on the “assisted living” list which starts next week. Here is a link to keep updated…
https://covid.ri.gov/vaccination
The chart for next week is here: https://us2.campaign-archive.com/?u=ece9b1661b3bf3b864a6894d1&id=82bcfc9aee
Please let us know when this works for you! We’d love a pick of you and your wife… Good luck.
So do we now, after two months, know who to vaccinate first? I mean if we really care about people not dying.
