Meijer will administer COVID vaccines at its Michigan pharmacies

Meijer will serve as a pharmacy partner with the state of Michigan to administer COVID-19 vaccines. The company has 120 pharmacies statewide and more than 250 pharmacies across its six-state footprint. Meijer President and CEO Rick Keyes said, “We are proud to be chosen by the State of Michigan as a partner to help administer these critical vaccines and we look forward to our expanded role in helping communities throughout the Midwest defeat this pandemic.” The state government selected Meijer to directly receive and administer COVID-19 vaccines under the Federal Retail Pharmacy Partnership Program. Starting the week of January 18, Meijer pharmacies will begin administering the first doses of COVID-19 vaccine doses at select stores in Wayne County, to patients aged 65 years and older. As more doses become available, Meijer said it will widen its immunization program to more stores throughout the state.
