Meijer stores are starting COVID vaccinations at some Wayne County pharmacies

WAYNE COUNTY, Mich. – Meijer stores have started to vaccinate people at a few of their pharmacies in Wayne County.

Michigan state officials chose the supercenter chain as a vaccination partner to help meet the goal of giving 50,000 injections every day.

Meijer has 120 pharmacies in stores across Michigan, but they do vaccination clinics and don’t disclose that 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 provides the vaccine weekly and Meijer currently has vaccination clinics in Taylor, Westland, Livonia and Allen Park.

The current focus is those who are 65 and older.
