COVID-19 Vaccines Available At Newport City Hall This Week

NEWPORT, RI — Eligible Newport residents still in need of a COVID-19 vaccine can get their shot outside City Hall this week. The city partnered with Visiting Nurse Home & Hospice and East Bay Community Action to offer vaccines, free of charge, and will have professionals on hand to answer any questions.

A clinic will be held Thursday from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. COVID-19 rapid tests will also be available to those who want them. Appointments are not required and no photo ID will be needed.

While supplies last, anyone who gets vaccinated will receive a $100 gift card to Stop and Shop, courtesy of the van Beuren Charitable Foundation.

In the event of rain, vaccines will be administered inside City Hall, in the city council chambers on the second floor.
