Providence and our family of organizations continue to follow local, state and federal guidelines and requirements for vaccine distribution. While today we’re currently offering the COVID-19 vaccine to certain high and medium-risk individuals, including health care personnel and residents and patients in long-term care facilities, we know this information could change quickly.
Although the vaccine is not being offered to the general public right now, we will keep you updated as vaccinations become more widely available. In the meantime, there is no need to contact us to schedule a vaccine appointment. We’ll reach out to you to ensure those who are eligible next are notified in a timely manner, and as supplies allow.
To check the status of Orange County, visit: occovid19.ochealthinfo.com or learn more about the COVID-19 vaccine at coronavirus.providence.org.
