June 1st Vaccine Canvassing - Awareness & Appointments

224 Dexter St,Providence RI 02907

01 June, 2021

Description

The City of Providence is hitting the streets to raise awareness about vaccines and get people registered for vaccine appointments. As the SARS-CoV-2 virus continues to spread across Providence and increase cases of COVID-19, we will be heading into the City's 'hot zones' to raise awareness about the virus and how to get vaccinated. Viral mutations and new variants are of concern, increasing the speed at which the virus is transmitted and community spread. For the City's high density communities (HDCs) this is of particular worry, as the tightly-packed urban layout makes transmission easier. With some of these communities at only 35% of adults having received their 1st COVID-19 vaccine dose, the lifting of statewide mask mandates could lead to additional transmission in these areas. Now, it's especially important to get the population vaccinated as soon as possible and we need your help.
