Schoolcraft College s VisTaTech Center, 18600 Haggerty Road, Livonia
Wayne County Community College District s Ted Scott Campus, 9555 Haggerty Road, Belleville
Flat Rock Community Center, 1 Maguire St., Flat Rock
Meijer said pharmacies at each of its stores will have at least 100 doses of Pfizer and Moderna vaccines for walk-ups on a first-come, first-serve basis. Appointments also can be made by texting the word COVID to 75049, by going online to clinic.meijer.com or calling the local pharmacy.
