routine vaccinations and immunizations at select Rite Aid
locations
Fall's arrival brings both the bustling return to routine and
the unwelcome beginning of respiratory illness season, but getting
vaccinated can be a seamless family affair. Rite Aid (NYSE: RAD)
will offer a Family Immunization Day at select stores providing
families a convenient opportunity to walk in and get the
vaccinations they need to protect themselves against the flu,
COVID-19, RSV, and other viruses.
Rite Aid’s upcoming Family Immunization Day offers families the
flexibility of a walk-in clinic, allowing them to conveniently
receive routine vaccinations over the weekend. The event will take
place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, October 14, at select
locations.
“As a retail pharmacy deeply rooted in community care, our
priority is to ensure our customers have convenient access to the
essential immunizations they require at a time that best aligns
with their lifestyle,” said Karen Staniforth, Chief Pharmacy
Officer at Rite Aid. “With the whirlwind of fall schedules in full
swing, our weekend walk-in clinic serves as a seamless solution,
empowering customers to proactively prioritize their health and
safeguard their families as we approach the holiday season.”
Rite Aid pharmacists can immunize adults and children three
years of age and older. Immunizations for Family Immunization Day
include routine vaccinations that provide critical protection
against certain diseases, some of which are required for certain
ages, activities, or for overseas travel. These include shingles,
tetanus, pertussis, HPV (human papilloma virus), among others,
depending on age and state regulations, in addition to the
available flu and COVID-19 (2023-2024) vaccines.
Customers can check with their local Rite Aid to see if it’s a
participating location. Customers who are unable to attend a Family
Immunization Day can schedule an appointment for necessary
vaccinations at their local Rite Aid through the online scheduling
tool.
To help customers determine which routine immunizations are
right for them, Rite Aid offers an Immunization Evaluation
Questionnaire on its website. The questionnaire guides customers to
ensure they are up to date with all necessary immunizations based
on their age, conditions or occupation.
