Last year, Ford retrofitted its plants to build personal protective equipment for health care workers.
An on-site vaccination program with the pharmacy company Rite Aid will deliver shots to workers at plants in three states, including Michigan.
The Moderna vaccine will be available to employees at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant, the Dearborn Truck Plant, the Van Dyke Transmission Plant, and the Rawsonville Components Assembly Plant.
The program is meant to help bridge access for those that have struggled to obtain an appointment. Currently, every adult in Michigan and teens 16 years and older are eligible for a coronavirus vaccine.
