“Events like the one we’re hosting at McCoy attempt to break down all barriers hindering people from getting their vaccine and we want to make getting inoculated as convenient as possible,” said Rhode Island National Guard Lieutenant Col. Brendan Carroll.

“We need everyone to do their part and get vaccinated so that we can stop the spread of this disease," said reserve corp executive officer Brooke Lawrence.

McCoy will still be used for COVID-19 testing by AccuReference Medical Lab.
