Rite Aid (NYSE: RAD) today announced it will begin administering
a booster dose of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine at select locations for
eligible children ages 5 to 11, following approval by the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) on Thursday. Bartell Drugs, owned by Rite Aid
Corporation, will also begin administering boosters to this age
group at select Seattle and Western Washington locations.
Children in this age group are eligible to receive a booster
dose five months or longer after completing their primary
series.
Beginning today, parents or guardians can schedule eligible
children using Rite Aid’s scheduling tool,
https://www.RiteAid.com/schedule, or walk in at locations that are
providing vaccines for this age group. To find a location nearest
you please visit: https://www.RiteAid.com/schedule. For

Appointments must be scheduled by a parent or legal guardian,
and children must be accompanied by an adult to their vaccine
appointment.
“Protecting children through vaccination remains central in our
continued fight against COVID-19 and caring for our communities,”
said Karen Staniforth, Chief Pharmacy Officer at Rite Aid. “As new
COVID variants continue to spread, vaccination including boosters
are critical in helping to prevent serious illness and
hospitalization. We encourage anyone who hasn’t scheduled their
primary vaccination series for themselves or their child to do so,
and to get their boosters when eligible.”
To date, Rite Aid has administered more than 16 million COVID-19
vaccinations. COVID-19 vaccines – including booster doses for
adults – are also available in-store and can be scheduled via the
online scheduling tool.
