Appointments can be made online and walk-in
appointments available
Rite Aid (NYSE: RAD) today announced it is now administering the
COVID-19 vaccine at all locations, spanning more than 2,500 stores
in 17 states. Following the latest guidance from the Biden
Administration, all those aged 16 years or older are now eligible
for vaccination, and Rite Aid encourages everyone to schedule an
appointment as soon as possible.
While scheduling appointments in advance is recommended to
reduce wait time and guarantee availability of the vaccine, Rite
Aid is now also accommodating walk-in vaccines on a limited basis
in every store. Enabling walk-in appointments supports customers
that may not have access to internet while also meeting the need
for flexibility for customers. People interested in a walk-in
appointment are encouraged to visit their local Rite Aid to confirm
availability.
“The availability of vaccines in every Rite Aid location is a
major milestone in our ongoing effort to fight COVID-19. We’ve been
on the front lines since the beginning of the pandemic, working
across our store footprint to bring testing and vaccines directly
to local communities,” said Jim Peters, chief operating officer,
Rite Aid. “Vaccine availability is improving every day, and our
pharmacists are ready to administer vaccines safely and
efficiently, providing the benefits of pharmacist-administered
vaccines in a safe and sterile environment right in your
neighborhood. Also, in addition to the grassroots efforts we’ve
undertaken with our community partners, the availability of these
walk-in appointments provides another way for those with limited or
no technology access to more easily obtain COVID vaccines. We
encourage everyone to make an appointment, or walk-in, today.”
Through its participation in the Federal Retail Pharmacy Program
and as an Official COVID-19 Vaccination Program Provider, Rite Aid
has accelerated its COVID-19 immunization efforts as allocation has
expanded. Rite Aid’s certified immunizing pharmacists are
administering the Moderna, Pfizer-BioNTech and Johnson &
Johnson (Janssen) vaccines.
Individuals ages 18 and over can schedule appointments using the
Rite Aid scheduling tool found at www.RiteAid.com/covid-19. Those
ages 16 and 17 can schedule an appointment with guardian consent at
any store administering the Pfizer vaccine by contacting the
store’s pharmacy directly. Those stores can be found here.
