Federal programs are available to support access to COVID-19 testing for people without health insurance.
•Increasing Community Access to Testing (ICATT) for COVID-19: CDC’s ICATT program can help you find where to get a free COVID-19 laboratory test whether or not you have insurance.
•Test To Treat Program: Through this program, people are able to get tested and – if they’re positive and treatments are appropriate for them – get a prescription from a healthcare provider, and have their prescription filled all at one location.
•Test to Treat locator is available to help find participating sites.
•A call center is also available at 1-800-232-0233 to get help in more than 150 other languages – 8 am to midnight, 7 days a week. 
COVID-19 VACCINATIONS 
COVID-19 vaccines are authorized and recommended for everyone age 6 months and older. For the best protection against COVID-19, stay up to date with your vaccines. This means getting all recommended doses of COVID-19, including boosters when eligible.

•As part of the State’s endemic strategy for COVID-19, vaccination will transition from State-supported vaccination sites to traditional partners and settings on July 1. If there is an increase in demand for COVID-19 vaccine that Rhode Island's long-standing, traditional health care infrastructure cannot support, the State is prepared to re-engage State-supported vaccination sites. COVID-19 vaccines will continue to be offered at no out-of-pocket cost to Rhode Islanders.
