(Providence, RI) -- Lifespan is now offering coronavirus vaccinations to emergency room patients. Anyone 18 and older is eligible when they are discharged between 7:30 a.m. and 11 p.m. from the ER at Rhode Island, Hasbro Children's, The Miriam or Newport hospitals. Lifespan says the intent is to improve vaccination rates for those at greatest risk and who are also more frequent users of emergency services.
