“Approval of the vaccine for this pediatric population is a
major milestone in our pandemic journey,” said Rite Aid Chief
Pharmacy Officer Karen Staniforth. “Parents have been eagerly
awaiting the availability of the COVID-19 vaccine for their little
ones, and we look forward to vaccinating our youngest customers to
help protect them against COVID-19.”
Parents and guardians for children under the age of 3 should
check with their pediatrician or health care provider or at
vaccines.gov to find a vaccine provider for this age group.
To date, Rite Aid has administered over 16 million COVID-19
vaccinations and encourages anyone who hasn’t received their
primary vaccination series to do so and to get their booster shot
when eligible.
“As new COVID and its variants continue to spread, vaccination
including boosters are critical in helping to prevent serious
illness and hospitalization,” Staniforth said.
