Meijer to Help Vaccinate Teachers

Meijer is partnering with the Indiana State Teachers Association to launch a series of vaccine clinics at its stores next week to streamline the process for vaccinating teachers and school staff across the state. The retailer will administer more than 10,000 doses to pre-registered teachers and school staff by the end of next week.

During the last few weeks, Meijer has administered more than 25,000 COVID-19 vaccine doses in Indiana, and more than 200,000 throughout the Midwest since mid-January.

“We are very pleased to continue to support the State of Indiana with this extremely important initiative,” said Jason Beauch, vice president of pharmacy for Meijer, in a statement. “With nearly 40 stores in Indiana, our pharmacy teams have been working across the state for weeks to administer vaccine doses to seniors, and we’re proud to broaden this outreach to include teachers, who are such an important part of our communities.”

The vaccine clinics conducted by Meijer are not open to walk-ups. The retailer is not releasing the location of the clinics as registered customers will be contacted directly with an appointment time and location once an appointment window becomes available for them.
