ALBION, Mich., June 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Caster Concepts Inc. (CasterConcepts.com) launched an employee and community COVID-19 vaccination initiative, with the second dose of Moderna to be administered starting at 10 a.m., Thursday, June 17, at the company's headquarters at 1600 W. Michigan Ave.

Caster Concepts, a leading caster manufacturer, partnered with Oaklawn Hospital, an independently owned nonprofit hospital serving Albion and Calhoun County, to make the COVID-19 vaccine free and easily accessible to its nearly 100-member staff, their families and the community.

The vaccination initiative is part of Caster Cares, the philanthropic arm of Caster Concepts. Through Caster Cares, the manufacturer provides services and resources to its employees and their families, as well as invests in programs that serve Albion and surrounding communities.

"Providing the vaccine and making it easily accessible supports the community's overall wellbeing, helping businesses and their employees rebound faster from the negative impacts of the pandemic," Dobbins said.

The Caster Concepts vaccination site is free and open to the public. No appointments are needed, and walk-ins are accepted and encouraged. For details, call or email Stephanie Siefert at [email protected] and 517-680-8838.
