Rite Aid (NYSE: RAD) today announced that scheduling is now
available for the updated boosters of the mRNA Pfizer and Moderna
COVID-19 vaccines at its locations and at Bartell Drugs locations
in the Pacific Northwest.
“At Rite Aid, we recognize the important role pharmacists
continue to play in helping our communities fight COVID-19, and we
look forward to providing our customers this updated booster which
is designed to protect against the original strains and Omicron
BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants in adults and teens,” said Karen
Staniforth, Chief Pharmacy Officer at Rite Aid. “As we see an
uptick in travel and gathering indoors with schools back in
session, we strongly encourage everyone to prepare by staying up to
date on both COVID-19 and flu vaccines.”
Individuals ages 18 and older are eligible for a single booster
dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine and individuals ages 12 and
older are eligible for a single booster dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech
COVID-19 vaccine. Both require that it has been at least two months
since completion of their primary COVID vaccination series or since
receiving their most recent booster dose. Updated booster doses can
be mixed and matched with primary vaccination series and previous
boosters meaning customers can get either brand of the updated
booster no matter which brand had been previously administered.
Eligible Rite Aid customers may schedule an appointment at
www.riteaid.com/pharmacy/scheduler. Bartell Drugs customers can use
the online scheduling tool linked here. Flu and other vaccines can
also be scheduled via the online scheduling tool. Rite Aid
encourages customers to get their flu shots at the same time they
receive their latest COVID-19 vaccination.
Customers may receive their updated booster dose at Rite Aid or
Bartell Drugs regardless of where they received their primary
series or previous booster(s). Primary vaccination series are
encouraged for customers, if not already received.
