“The Ford Field Community Vaccination Site is proof of what we can do when we work together,” said Governor Gretchen Whitmer. “I am grateful for President Biden’s leadership and for the partnership between the Detroit Lions, Meijer, Wayne County, Detroit, and our federal partners at FEMA. We will continue to increase the fair release of vaccines, and with the addition of the Ford Field community site, we are taking a significant step toward returning to normal as we continue to rebuild our economy. ”
The Ford Field Vaccination Clinic will be open from 8 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., seven days a week. It will remain open for a total of eight weeks, according to the federal government’s vaccination pilot program.
