Vaccines have been given to board members at Lifespan and trustees at Care New England even as older adults across the state have to wait weeks or months for their turn, officials say.
Both companies, the state s largest and second-largest hospital groups, respectively, have expanded eligibility to everyone who works there, no matter their age or risk or exposure, the Providence Journal reported. That includes lab techs, top administrators and others.
Jane Bruno, spokesperson for Lifespan, the state s largest employer, said board members were offered available vaccination slots last weekend as part of the lowest tier of priority.
State asks police to probe racist screed broadcast during virtual Worcester court hearing for Black Lives Matter protesters
WORCESTER Court officials have asked police to probe a racist video “Zoom bomb” that interrupted Central District Court on Friday during a virtual hearing for people charged during a Black Lives Matter protest June 1 in the city.
Lawyers representing nine people accused of failing to disperse after the protest got out of hand were arguing motions on Zoom around noon, when the online disruption occurred.
The N-word could be heard repeatedly on the broadcast. One person wrote “Heeil Hitleer (sic)” on the chat, while another laughed. A pornographic video was also cast on the screen briefly.
