We thank our patients for enabling Brown Medicine to adjust to these fluctuations in cases. Whether it is rescheduling a routine visit or changing your appointment to telemedicine, your cooperation allows us to take measures to prioritize the necessary care for our sickest patients.

Please keep in mind that the coronavirus is still circulating. We strongly encourage all eligible patients to stay up to date on COVID-19 vaccinations, including boosters. The booster adds significant protection against infection and severe illness. If not vaccinated at all, please consider doing so now. Pfizer and Moderna (updated) bivalent boosters may be given at two months from the last vaccination. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) updated its guidance regarding boosters when the bivalent vaccine was made available. You can receive the bivalent booster after you have recovered from COVID-19 if you have not already, though you may wait up to no more than 90 days. Visit www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/booster-shot.html for details.

To make an appointment and get additional information, visit C19vaccineRI.org or call 844-930-1779. We follow the CDC recommendations regarding isolation and quarantine guidelines for persons who have been infected and/or exposed to the COVID-19 virus. www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/quarantine-isolation.html

If you are currently a Brown Medicine patient and need the COVID-19 vaccine, please call our East Providence Patient Center, Internal Medicine East Greenwich or Warwick Primary Care offices to make an appointment. Moderna and Pfizer vaccines are available at each location.
