“With back to school and the upcoming cold and flu season around the corner, it’s important for families to stay up to date on their routine vaccines and protect themselves from spreading respiratory viruses,” said Karen Staniforth, Chief Pharmacy Officer at Rite Aid. “Whether customers choose to walk in or schedule their vaccine in advance, we are committed to providing them with convenient access to the immunizations they need.”
Rite Aid will be offering flu vaccines protecting against the strains of influenza that are expected to circulate in
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends adults 60 years and older receive a single dose of RSV vaccine, based on discussions with their pharmacist or other healthcare provider. 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 CDC-recommended COVID-19 vaccine once available, 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.
To help customers assess their needs for routine immunizations, 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.
Rite Aid and Bartell's pharmacists can immunize adults and children three years of age and older against influenza. 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 are currently accepting walk-ins.

- Using the online scheduling tool, customers may select a convenient time and location to schedule a vaccine appointment for flu, COVID-19 and other recommended vaccinations.
- Customers supply necessary information and consent forms securely online in advance of their appointment.
- Reminders will be sent in the days leading up to the appointment via customers’ chosen communication preferences by text or email.
