Walk-Up COVID-19 Vaccine Clinics Coming To Point Judith

NARRAGANSETT, RI — As part of the state's effort to get COVID-19 vaccines to everyone eligible, the Rhode Island Department of Health is holding a pair of vaccine clinics intended for commercial fishermen and employees of businesses around the Port of Galilee

The free, walk-up clinics will be held at the Town Dock on Tuesday and Wednesday, from noon to 4 p.m. The single-dose, Johnson and Johnson vaccine will be available to anyone who is interested, the department said, along with COVID-19 tests for those who want them.

The clinics are a collaboration between the departments of Health and Environmental Management.

"DEM partners with The Town Dock on a number of initiatives to ensure that the Port of Galilee remains a thriving commercial hub," said Terry Gray, the department's acting director. "We appreciate The Town Dock’s partnership and civic-mindedness in hosting these important clinics benefiting public health."

Limited parking will be available on State Street. Appointments will not be required to get a vaccine.
