What To Know About Getting Coronavirus Vaccine In Narragansett

NARRAGANSETT, RI — As the coronavirus vaccination effort expands across the state, Narragansett residents are encouraged to sign up for the town's emergency notification system to make sure they receive the latest information about appointments and registration.

Residents who create an account with the town's CodeRed system will be contacted at a later date with information about how to register for a vaccine appointment. At this time, the state's vaccination effort is focused on residents aged 75 or older, who are some of the most at risk for being hospitalized or dying from COVID-19. To be contacted, residents must sign up for a managed account, not as a guest.

Narragansett residents will receive their Moderna vaccines at the South Road Elementary School site in Wakefield. Only eligible people — Narragansett residents aged 75 or older — will be allowed in for their appointment.

More information about the coronavirus pandemic and vaccination effort is available on the town's website.
