Rite Aid (OTC: RADCQ) today announced that appointments for
influenza (flu) and respiratory syncytial (RSV) vaccines currently
are available at all store locations, including Bartell Drugs in
the Pacific Northwest. Customers can now schedule appointments
effective immediately for these vaccines and many others to protect
themselves and family members against the upcoming respiratory
virus season through Rite Aid’s online scheduler.
“With school starting soon and the upcoming fall respiratory
season just around the corner, it’s important for families to stay
up to date on their routine vaccines and reduce the spread of
respiratory illness,” said Karen Staniforth, Chief Pharmacy Officer
at Rite Aid. “Whether customers choose to walk-into the pharmacy or
schedule their vaccine in advance, Rite Aid is here to provide
convenient access to the health services they need.”
Rite Aid will be offering flu vaccines protecting against the
strains of influenza that are expected to circulate in the U.S.
this year, as well as a nasal spray flu vaccine, which is in
limited supply at select locations as indicated by the scheduler.
Customers receiving their flu shot from now until September 30 will
get a coupon for $5 off a $25 in-store purchase. This offer
excludes stores in New York or New Jersey and some restrictions
apply. See Riteaid.com/flu for details.
The 2024-2025 flu vaccines are recommended by the Centers for
Disease Control (CDC) for everyone six months of age and older. The
CDC also recommends an RSV vaccine for everyone ages 75 and older
and adults ages 60-74 at increased risk of severe RSV, based on
discussions with their pharmacist or other healthcare provider. One
dose of maternal RSV vaccine during weeks 32 through 36 of
pregnancy is also recommended from the start of September through
January. The RSV vaccine may be given at the same time as other
vaccines.
Rite Aid and Bartell Drugs also offer COVID-19 and other routine
vaccinations at all locations, helping customers and families stay
up to date on vaccines that provide critical protection against
certain diseases, some of which are required for certain ages,
activities or for overseas travel. Rite Aid and Bartell Drugs will
provide the new 2024-2025 CDC-recommended COVID-19 vaccine once
available late this summer, which will better protect against the
most prevalent COVID-19 strain. Rite Aid pharmacists can provide
additional guidance on which vaccines are right for each customer
and advise on the timing of administration of each vaccine.
Rite Aid and Bartell's pharmacists can immunize adults and
children three years of age and older against influenza and
COVID-19. To schedule an appointment for a flu vaccine or other
immunizations, Rite Aid customers can use the online scheduling
tool at riteaid.com. Bartell Drugs customers can use the online
scheduling tool linked here. All locations also accept
walk-ins.
