Meijer stores begin COVID vaccinations at some Wayne County pharmacies

WAYNE COUNTY, Mich. Meijer stores have started vaccinating people at a few pharmacies in Wayne County.

Michigan government officials have selected the super-center chain as a vaccination partner to help achieve its goal of giving 50,000 shots every day.

Meijer has 120 pharmacies in stores in Michigan, but they do vaccination clinics and do not announce them in advance.

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

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

The current focus is those who are 65 years old and older.
