Press Coverage: CPNRI Vaccination Clinic

Our client, the Community Provider Network of Rhode Island (CPNRI), has been holding vaccination clinics for the intellectual and developmentally disabled community in Rhode Island. We invited press to yesterday's clinic, and the response was tremendous.

Here's the coverage for the clinic from across Rhode Island media:
