I just read the comment from a grandmother in FL who got her shot. I heard today from a doctor that here in RI I might never get a shot because at my age (61) I may not be eligible even though I have chronic conditions including asthma and diabetes. Guess I should move to FL.

I am living in the Fort Myers area for the winter. I got my flu shot Monday nite with hundreds of other high risk people. Lee County have 2 clinics every nite. Hundreds of volunteers and very well organized. Why isn't RI having similiar clinics? My grandchildren aren't scheduled to get it until Nov. 23. It may be too late!!!

Do You Think Increased Tax Revenue Means RI's Economy is Turning Around?

  • No, it's probably from some stealth tax HIKE that we don't know about.
  • Yes, things have been awful for awhile, and they're finally getting better.
