GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – Meijer is helping more customers take charge of their health by making recommended vaccinations easier to schedule and access across the Midwest. With a new school year upon us and influenza and respiratory illness season approaching, Meijer has launched a new capability for patients to schedule vaccination appointments well ahead of time, even before they are in the retailer's inventory.
Designed for busy families and individuals planning for the fall season, customers can now schedule ahead at rx.meijer.com. In addition to the flu vaccine, Meijer offers an array of commonly recommended immunizations, including RSV, shingles, pneumonia and COVID*, subject to age, eligibility, and availability.
"As families and communities prepare for a new school year and cold and flu season, Meijer Pharmacy is a trusted one-stop shop for the vaccines and resources they need to help protect themselves and the people around them," said Jackie Morse, Group Vice President of Health and Pharmacy at Meijer. "With our new schedule-ahead feature, our trained pharmacists are ready to help patients plan well in advance, make informed decisions, and stay up to date on their health when it works best for them."
Beyond its pharmacy locations, Meijer continues to expand vaccine access by bringing it directly to workplaces, community organizations, and local groups through on-site clinics at no charge to the organization. Designed to reduce barriers such as travel time, scheduling conflicts, and access to trusted providers, these clinics make it easy for groups to receive recommended vaccines in familiar, convenient settings. Organizations that are interested can make the request here.
In 2025, Meijer held more than 200 vaccine clinics across the Midwest and administered more than 7,000 vaccines through those efforts, helping employers, nursing homes, churches, schools, and other organizations make preventive care more accessible for the people they serve.
By expanding convenient scheduling options and continuing to support vaccine access, the retailer is helping make it easier for customers across the Midwest to stay protected. This season, mPerks points can be earned by all eligible vaccine recipients, including Medicare members. Customers can manage their vaccination needs anytime through the Meijer website, Meijer app, by texting "RX" to 75049, or by walking into their local Meijer Pharmacy to connect with a pharmacist on the spot.
