(La Porte County, IN) - School teachers in La Porte County finally have an option for COVID-19 vaccination.

 

Local educators can now schedule vaccine appointments at select area pharmacies.  Extra doses have been shipped to retailers not from the state, but through the Federal Retail Pharmacy Program.

 

A spokesperson from La Porte’s Health Department says local Meijer and Kroger stores are accommodating teachers.  Walmart will also soon be doing so, as well.

 

Appointments must be made through the retailers.  You can schedule an appointment at your nearby Meijer store by texting "COVID" to 75049 or by visiting clinic.meijer.com.
