Mayor Elorza and Asthenis Pharmacy Founder Dr. Eugenio Fernandez today announced a City of Providence large-scale COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic for residents 18 or older. The clinic is scheduled for Thursday, December 30, 2021, at the Providence Career and Technical Academy. Over 1,000 appointments are open and available on a first-come-first-served basis.
“As we are seeing cases rise and continued strain on our healthcare and hospital systems, we all have to do our part to keep one another safe,” said Mayor Jorge O. Elorza. “Our team has hosted four clinics over the past three months, and we will continue to work with our partners like Asthenis Pharmacy who are doing tremendous work to enroll and vaccinate our residents. If you or a loved one still need your vaccine or booster shot, I encourage you to sign up for an appointment today.”
This clinic is offering the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine, including booster doses, for people aged 18 and older only.
