The clinic is offering the Moderna vaccine to residents who live in Dearborn, Dearborn Heights, Melvindale, Allen Park, Inkster, Redford and Garden City.

Masks are required at all times during the appointments and people will be asked to show their identification and be screened upon entry.

Beginning April 12, the vaccination center will be open for 12 hours per day Monday through Thursday.
