More than 5,000 long-term care facilities in Michigan are expected to receive the Moderna vaccine from either CVS Pharmacy or Walgreens in the coming weeks, according to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.
Through a partnership with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the pharmacy chains will set up three vaccination clinics at each enrolled site over a 12-week period.
CVS confirms vaccinations began Monday, December 28.
The sites will include nursing homes, homes for the aged, adult foster care facilities, and a slew of other types of congregate living facilities.
