VA Providence providing vaccinations at former Benny’s location

MIDDLETOWN R.I (WLNE) – Starting next week, the VA Providence Healthcare System will be providing COVID-19 vaccinations to all Veterans.

The clinic will open on March 22, at the Old Benny’s location in Middletown RI, and will run from 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM.

“We are using this opportunity to bring more vaccination clinics to our Veterans in the areas that they live,” said Larry Connell, Medical Center Director, VA Providence Healthcare System.

“As we have found with other local clinics, bringing vaccine to Veterans makes it easier for them to get the vaccine timely and close to their home,” he continued.

Veterans who are not enrolled in the Healthcare System will need to bring proof of military service (DD214) and a picture ID.

 Additionally, they will need to fill out a 1010EZ enrollment form.

The form can be found at https://www.va.gov/vaforms/medical/pdf/10-10EZ-fillable.pdf.

Forms will also be available on site for those who cannot bring it with them.
