Business Wire
Rite Aid today announced it has extended the priority COVID-19
vaccine scheduling period for teachers, school staff and childcare
providers, in accordance with a directive from the United States
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Biden
Administration, to ensure these groups are vaccinated during the
month of March.
Continuing last week’s initiative, the scheduling of select
COVID-19 vaccine appointments at Rite Aid will be available
exclusively to qualifying educators, school staff and licensed
childcare program staff on the following days: Friday, March 19;
Saturday, March 20; Friday, March 26; and Saturday, March 27. Those
eligible during these priority periods include:
- Pre-Kindergarten – 12th grade educators and staff
- Childcare workers
- Family childcare providers
- Head Start & Early Head Start staff
For otherwise eligible individuals, as decided by state and
local guidelines, appointments will be available for scheduling all
other days in the month of March. The Rite Aid scheduling tool,
built for eligible individuals in the eight states and two local
jurisdictions where we currently administer vaccines through the
Federal Retail Pharmacy Program, can be found at
https://www.riteaid.com/covid-19.
Rite Aid recognizes and appreciates the hard work of our
teachers, school employees, and childcare staff over the last year.
The company is proud to continue its work to help bring an end to
the pandemic and protect our communities – including educators –
from COVID-19.
