State Representatives Fenton-Fung and Casmiro
State Representatives Barbara Ann Fenton-Fung (R-Dist. 15, Cranston) and Rep. Julie A. Casimiro (D-Dist. 31, North Kingstown, Exeter) are calling upon the RI Department of Health to revisit their current operations plan and immediately allow up to 2 parents / legal guardians of a child undergoing chemotherapy and 1 caregiver of an adult undergoing chemotherapy to be eligible for vaccination.
“We know those fighting cancer need to have their focus solely on winning that battle. As state policy drivers we need to be there for them, and it is our responsibility to help make adjustments when necessary,” said the representatives in a statement.
