INDIANAPOLIS Meijer pharmacies have crossed the threshold of 1 million coronavirus vaccine doses administered through the retailer’s in-store clinics and are now launching a “walk-up” vaccine program at all Meijer locations.
Meijer began administering vaccines in January. Since then, the retailer has had thousands of in-store vaccine clinics, as well as community-based off-site clinics, throughout all six states in its Midwest footprint.
When shots became available, Avon teacher Audra McAllister didn t hesitate. As soon as it was available and it was good for teachers to come and get it, I was going to do that, McAllister said.

Sign up for vaccinations began on Friday morning. In a few days, there were enough school workers enrolled to justify a four-day clinic.
It comes exactly one year after Avon schools were the first in the state to shut down because of COVID-19 and forced into virtual learning.
