MICHIGAN (WPBN/WGTU) -- Meijer said it is preparing to give booster shots to those who are eligible regardless of where they got their original doses.

The Michigan-based retailer said eligible patients who received their vaccinations at Meijer will get a text to schedule a booster appointment.

“We’ve come a long way these past 18 months, but in order to continue on that path and maintain our healthy communities, we encourage everyone who is eligible to get the COVID-19 booster,” said Rick Keyes, President & CEO of Meijer. “Our Pharmacy Team worked diligently to vaccinate a very large number of people in a relatively short amount of time and is preparing to administer boosters for those who are eligible to take that next step.”
