Meijer stores begin COVID vaccination at some pharmacies in Wayne County

WAYNE COUNTY, Mich. – Meijer stores have started vaccinating people in some of their pharmacies in Wayne County.

Michigan state officials chose the supercenter network as a vaccination partner to help meet its goal of delivering 50,000 vaccines a day.

Meijer has 120 pharmacies in stores in Michigan, but they are running vaccination clinics and don’t advertise them in advance.

Residents flocked to the Meijer store in Allen Park on Thursday to receive the vaccine.

Meijer is what the federal government calls a federal retail pharmacy. The state provides the vaccine weekly and Meijer currently maintains vaccination clinics in Taylor, Westland, Livonia and Allen Park.

The current focus is those aged 65 and over.
