Vaccination Clinic opportunity

May 3, 2021

From Elizabeth M. Tanner, Esq., Director, Department of Business Regulation Liz.Tanner@dbr.ri.gov:

This email is being sent to you because your industry [child care] was identified as one that could benefit most from a vaccination clinic at this time. Additional industries will be added at a later time.

The State of Rhode Island is now able to offer the following to you or your members:

  1. Request for a Vaccination Clinic at a particular business:
    1. Targeting at least 50 persons
    2. Please have the specific business use this form to make the request: Community Partner Interest Form [forms.office.com]
  2. Request for a Vaccination Clinic at a particular destination- i.e., Office park
    1. Targeting at least 50 persons
    2. Please have a specific business take the lead and use this form to make the request: Community Partner Interest Form [forms.office.com]

Note: Completing the form does not guarantee that a vaccination event will be scheduled. Vaccination events are dependent on vaccine supply and capacity of medical vaccinator staff. Prioritization will be determined based on volume, other barriers to vaccination access (i.e., how difficult is it to get vaccinated elsewhere), vulnerability (e.g., exposure potential, workplace setting, population), and other considerations.

  1. Set aside vaccination times at a particular existing vaccination site for either a singular business or multiple businesses:
    1. This can be done at multiple existing vaccination sites for your members
    2. No minimum
    3. Please contact: Paul.kiekhaefer.ctr@health.ri.gov (573) 690-8183

The team at the Rhode Island Department of Health is also open to working with representatives of industry associations to develop a strategy to reach your constituent groups. Please contact paul.kiekhaefer.ctr@health.ri.gov to set up a strategy working session for your industry. By reaching out to these contacts, you can work directly with them to determine what is best for your association, businesses or members.

If there is anything I can do to assist you, please do not hesitate to email me: liz.tanner@dbr.ri.gov
