Appointments through the state’s website showed the new location was already fully booked.

The Middletown site joins state-run mass vaccination clinics that have already opened in Providence and Cranston. The state also plans to open a site at a former Sears store in Woonsocket, but the exact timeline has not been determined.
COVID-19 shots are also available for eligible residents at 30 community locations across the state and at numerous retail pharmacy locations.
Currently, residents age 65 and older are eligible to sign up for a shot, but Gov. Daniel J. McKee on Tuesday announced a plan to get teachers, school support staffers and day care workers their first shots by the end of the month.
The state is also set to expand eligibility to residents age 60 to 64 and to people 18 and older with certain underlying health conditions.
