2/2/2021 After opening pilot round, town starts vaccination clinic Feb. 14 Bob Sagnella, of Lincoln, says the worst part about the virus is the isolation, and he feels lucky to be getting the vaccine, last Saturday at Smithfield High School. (Breeze photo by Charles Lawrence) NORTH PROVIDENCE – After an initial rocky pilot of vaccines to North Providence residents in neighboring Providence over the weekend, the town will begin its own vaccination clinic at North Providence High School starting the week of Feb. 14. “We will continue with the population of 75 years of age and older and then schedule other age groups until all town residents are vaccinated,” said Fire Chief and Director of Emergency Management John Silva in a statement.

Covid vaccinations for older Rhode Islanders begin

PROVIDENCE Neither Sheila Steiner nor her husband, Manfred, so much as flinched when they got their coronavirus vaccine. The Riverside couple, both retired doctors, had been waiting anxiously for the vaccine against COVID-19, and it came as a huge relief when they were able to get their first shots on Saturday at Lifespan’s Center for Primary Care in Providence. “We’re so grateful that Lifespan organized this and were able to get us in so quickly,” Sheila said. They were among the first elderly residents of Rhode Island who live on their own to get the vaccine, and also among the first general members of the public to get it. To date, the vaccine had only been available to first responders, health care workers, people in congregate settings such as nursing homes, and those in other high-risk groups.
