Pawtucket launches online form for COVID-19 vaccination clinic info

The City of Pawtucket announces the launch of an online form for residents to complete in order to get more information on upcoming COVID-19 vaccination clinics. The form, in multiple languages, is intended to connect all residents with information on upcoming clinics as it becomes available.

“There has been a strong demand for vaccination and information from our community”, said Mayor Donald R. Grebien. “The form will make it easier for residents to know that they will be contacted for an opportunity to sign up once vaccines are available. We want our residents to be assured that they will not be overlooked when the time comes.”

The form will serve as a contact list for residents to submit their information and be contacted by the BEAT COVID-19 team when an upcoming clinic they are eligible for is announced by the RI Department of Health. Currently, there is no vaccine clinic information though the City anticipates that vaccines will be made available to the 75 and over population in mid-February.

“The City continues to work alongside our partners in the Rhode Island Department of Health, Pawtucket EMA, Police, and Fire to provide vaccines to our residents. We are exploring the possibility of hosting clinics on both sides of the city in order to make it easier for our older populations to access,” said Mayor Grebien.

Residents are required to provide information including their name, date of birth, street address, telephone number, and email in order to be placed on the contact list. This form does not serve as preregistration for a clinic and residents are still required to consult the Pawtucket website or call the BEAT COVID-19 hotline to register for an individual clinic once they are notified that they qualify. Registration on the form does not guarantee the resident a spot in the next vaccination clinic and all clinics are still on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Residents are encouraged to visit the Pawtucket website at www.PawtucketRI.com/Covid19. Those needing assistance can reach out to the BEAT COVID-19.

UPDATE: Both Warwick and Cranston city website now also have online pre-registration methods up and running.
