Raimondo said the targeted approach was always the plan, and said the results speak for themselves.
Joined by Dr. Nicole Alexander-Scott and RI National Guard Major General Chris Callahan, Raimondo said, “Our strategy was to be very targeted to the most vulnerable to make sure that our hospital were not overflowing. And I want Rhode Islanders to be reassured that on that score we’re doing incredibly well. Better than Massachusetts and Connecticut. Better than most states in American and much better than the national average.”
According to Raimondo, from January to February, Rhode Island saw a 46% decline in hospitalizations. Raimondo credited this to older residents getting the vaccine first.
