PROVIDENCE â Nearly 14 months into the pandemic, Rhode Island has reached a meaningful milestone in its vaccine rollout this week.
On Tuesday morning, outside of Rhode Island Hospital, Governor Dan McKee officially announced the 1 millionth vaccination. It was given at Rhode Island Hospital â the same location where the first dose was administered in the state on Dec. 14, 2020.

Rhode Island Governor Daniel J. McKee has asked the State Police to look into why some 1,400 people of color who had registered for last weekend’s COVID-19 vaccination clinic at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center in Providence were sent false cancellation notices.
Several community leaders had raised concerns to The Public’s Radio about whether the cancellation notices might have been sent intentionally by someone trying to undermine efforts to prioritize vaccinations in Rhode Island to people of color.
“We re going to find out how it happened and why it happened,’’ McKee said during a press conference outside the Dunk on Saturday. “And then we re gonna let people know. But I just don t want to jump to any conclusions until we actually know what happened.”
