Wayne County COVID-19 Vaccination
Clinic Update

Looking towards the future, Canton Club 55+ staff is working hard to plan for the re-opening our center's physical location for small group
programs and events in the coming months. As we go to print, the Club 55+ facility remains closed, but we hope that the climate will change
enough to enable you to join us for some in-person programming. In the meantime, since spring is in the air, we're taking advantage of these sunny days to offer many wonderful programs throughout the month of April.

During this evolving COVID-19 climate, we continue to receive numerous
inquiries about COVID-19 vaccines and their availability in Canton. At
this time in Wayne County, individuals interested in receiving the
vaccine can coordinate through their primary health care provider to get
on a list to receive the vaccine. Additionally, a distribution pipeline is also
available at area pharmacies, including: Meijer, Rite-Aid and now Kroger.
Wayne County will continue to offer vaccination clinics in Canton. To
learn more, visit www.canton-mi.org/1277. Finally, if you need additional
assistance signing up to receive the vaccine, contact Michigan's COVID-19
hotline by calling 888-535-6136 or 211, Monday through Friday from 8
a.m. to 5 p.m.

Seniors in need of other resources or those with questions may contact
the Club 55+ staff Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. by calling
734/394-5485 or by emailing club55@canton-mi.org.

As always, we continue to miss our members and look forward to seeing
you again soon!
