Meijer has launched a new capability for patients to schedule vaccination appointments well ahead of time, even before vaccines arrive in the retailer’s inventory, as families prepare for a new school year and the approaching cold and flu season.
Customers can now schedule ahead at rx.meijer.com. In addition to the flu vaccine, the Grand Rapids, Michigan-based retailer offers an array of commonly recommended immunizations, including RSV, shingles and pneumonia, subject to age, eligibility and availability. COVID vaccinations are not currently available within the schedule-ahead feature but are anticipated this fall following regulatory approval.
“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 VP 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.”
On-site clinics expand access
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. The clinics are designed to reduce barriers such as travel time and scheduling conflicts.
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.
This season, mPerks points can be earned by all eligible vaccine recipients, including Medicare members. Customers can manage their vaccination needs through the Meijer website, Meijer app, by texting “RX” to 75049 or by walking into their local Meijer Pharmacy.
Meijer is a privately owned, family-operated retailer serving customers at more than 500 supercenters, grocery stores, neighborhood markets and express locations throughout the Midwest, with more than 70,000 team members. The retailer annually donates at least 6 percent of its profit to strengthen its communities.
