NORTH PROVIDENCE – Mayor Charles Lombardi says he’s received word from the state that the town will be allowed to keep its own vaccination site in business at North Providence High School going forward.
Lombardi said he read the news two weeks ago that communities such as Providence and Pawtucket were getting to keep their own sites because of the density of their populations and the strength of the pandemic there, and so he called state officials to ask them about North Providence, where he noted that 34,000 people live within 5.2 square miles and the town has the second or third highest population of seniors.
