The Free Press reports:

The company said in a release that it was selected by the state to directly receive and administer the vaccines under the Federal Retail Pharmacy Partnership Program.

Meijer will administer the first doses of the Covid-19 vaccine at a limited number of stores in Wayne County to patients age 65 and older starting the week of Jan. 18, according the company's release.

As more vaccine becomes available, the program will expand. For those interested:
