COVID-19 vaccines available for anyone over age
12
Schools and organizations can now inquire about
onsite COVID-19 vaccine clinics online
Rite Aid (NYSE: RAD) today announced it is administering
COVID-19 vaccines to anyone 12 or older at all locations offering
the Pfizer vaccine, following the latest guidance from the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Guardians for individuals under 18 can now schedule appointments
using the Rite Aid scheduling tool found at
www.RiteAid.com/covid-19. Those ages 12 through 17 are only
authorized to be vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine, per CDC
guidance.
Additionally, Rite Aid is enabling schools and organizations in
its footprint to inquire about vaccine clinics directly with the
company by visiting www.riteaid.com/covid-19/community-clinics. The
clinic inquiry tool provides a seamless and efficient way to
organize on-site vaccine clinics, helping to bring the vaccine
directly into communities and reach people at schools, community
centers, churches, and workplaces. Clinics are conducted by Rite
Aid’s pharmacy team.
“Opening eligibility for those 12 and older is a major step
forward in the effort to get as many people vaccinated as possible
and help bring an end to the pandemic,” said Jim Peters, chief
operating officer, Rite Aid. “But we know that availability of the
vaccine is just one step. It’s important to reach people where they
learn, gather, work, and worship. To make the vaccination process
as safe and seamless as possible, we've designed a tool on our
website that makes scheduling a pop-up clinic simple. Whether it’s
COVID-19 testing or vaccine clinics, we’re eager to help our
communities thrive.”
