Walk-up COVID-19 vaccinations offered at Providence, Cranston sites on Friday and Saturday


April 23, 2021 8:47 am
PROVIDENCE, RI (WLNE) – Rhode Island is piloting walk-up vaccinations for two days this week, as the state’s supply is currently outweighing demand.
Two of the state-run mass vaccination sites will offer the walk-up vaccinations on Friday, April 23, and Saturday, April 24.
The Dunkin Donuts Center POD in Providence and the Sockanosett POD in Cranston at 100 Sockanosset Cross Road will be open to anyone aged 16 and older to walk in and get a vaccine.
“We are signing people up at a similar rate to what we’ve seen over the past few weeks,” said Thomas McCarthy, executive director of Rhode Island’s COVID-19 response said Thursday. “But we’ve never had more vaccine available in [Rhode Island] than we’ve had this week. So that’s part of what gives us the extra flexibility to offer that walk-up availability.” ....

RI National Guard makes sure vaccine effort runs smoothly


It went smoothly.
Government was processing thousands a day in a complex dance  usually a bad recipe. Yet the operation had military precision.
Maybe that’s not a surprise.
Because National Guard folks are key players there.
State workers too, and credit to them  but soldiers helped with much of it.
Although the Guard, at its core, is trained for war, the state vaccine machine is a reminder of how good they are at any emergency.
Admittedly, it’s hard to get a vaccine appointment online right now  a big frustration.
But that’s a national supply problem.
As for the big delivery sites here, they’re well-oiled machines. ....
