GRAND RAPIDS, MI West Michigan residents eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine will soon have a new place to get a dose.
A large-scale clinic at DeVos Place convention center in downtown Grand Rapids is scheduled to open Monday as part of a partnership between the Kent County Health Department, Spectrum Health and Mercy Health Saint Mary’s.
Initially, the clinic will have roughly 7,200 doses of the vaccine to distribute starting next week, with the goal of eventually ramping up to 20,000 doses a day. However, with the vaccine in high-demand and short-supply, it’s unclear when the clinic will be able to reach that goal.
