PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Rhode Island’s attorney general is reviewing whether the state’s largest hospital operators are properly distributing COVID vaccines.

The Providence Journal reports state Attorney General Peter Neronha’s office has been in contact with the state Department of Health regarding the distribution of vaccines by Lifespan and Care New England.

The Journal previously reported that board members and trustees at the two hospital groups have been offered vaccinations.

Health Department spokesman Joseph Wendelken told the Journal hospitals have been instructed to vaccinate highest exposure healthcare workers first.

Hospital spokespersons didn’t respond Thursday.
