Meijer offers incentive to customers for completed COVID-19 vaccinations

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WTVQ) – In an effort to encourage those who are elligible to get the COVID-19 vaccine, Meijer announced Thursday, May 20, that it will give customers a $10 coupon off any purchase when they complete the vaccination process at a Meijer store. For customers who already completed their vaccines with any provider, including Meijer, it is offering a different coupon for $10 off a purchase of $50 or more.

“We encourage everyone who is able to receive the vaccine to take this important step and get vaccinated,” Meijer President & CEO Rick Keyes said. “When the vaccine rollout began, our pharmacy teams dedicated themselves to keeping our communities safe. Their efforts have paid off, but we’re not done yet. We’re hopeful this incentive helps tip the balance.”

Individuals interested in this offer will receive the $10 coupon after getting their final vaccine dose at a Meijer store. Customers who already have had the vaccine need to go to their local Meijer pharmacy and bring their completed vaccination card to receive their $10 off a $50 or more purchase coupon.

Meijer began the rollout of its vaccine clinics in mid-January, after being named a Federal Retail Pharmacy Partner in the State of Michigan. Since then, the retailer has conducted thousands of in-store vaccine clinics, as well as community-based off-site clinics, throughout all six states in its Midwest footprint. Meijer has also been providing its team members with a $100 bonus once they complete the vaccination process and show their vaccination cards.

As COVID-19 vaccine supplies have increased, Meijer is also offering vaccines on a walk-up basis at all its pharmacies using the Pfizer vaccine. Every Meijer store will have a minimum of 100 doses per week for customers to get the vaccine at their convenience. Doses will be administered on a first-come, first-served basis.

While limited vaccines will be available on a walk-up basis at all Meijer stores, people interested in getting the vaccine can still register to get an appointment by simply texting COVID to the number 75049. Individuals can also go online to register.
