Customers can now schedule online for
appointments beginning today or walk in at Rite Aid and Bartell
Drug’s locations
It’s not too early to schedule your flu shot. Rite Aid (NYSE:
RAD) has opened online scheduling for flu shots at its locations
including Bartell Drugs in the Pacific Northwest, and is now
accepting walk-ins, providing convenient options for families to
get vaccinated.
“With children going back to school, now is the perfect time to
schedule a flu shot as well as other needed routine vaccines,” said
Karen Staniforth, Chief Pharmacy Officer at Rite Aid. “More than
ever, our customers want to keep themselves and their families
healthy – including protecting against flu, COVID-19 and other
diseases – and we are committed to providing them with convenient
access to the immunizations they need.”
This year, Rite Aid’s flu vaccinations include:
- Quadrivalent flu vaccine, which provides protection against
four strains of the flu: the influenza A H3N2 virus, the influenza
A H1N1 virus and two strains of influenza B virus
- FLUAD, a quadrivalent vaccine that helps create a stronger
immune response to vaccination, approved for people 65 and
older
- Fluzone HD, a high-dosage quadrivalent vaccine for patients 65
and older
- Flumist, a nasal spray flu vaccine, which is in limited supply
at all locations
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.
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. 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.
How online scheduling works:
- 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.
