Rite Aid Offering Back to School Family Immunization Days

Customers and their families can receive routine vaccinations and immunizations at select Rite Aid and Bartell Drugs locations

Getting vaccinated can be a family affair. Rite Aid (NYSE: RAD) will offer Back to School Family Immunization Days at select stores, including Bartell Drugs in the Pacific Northwest, providing families convenient opportunities to walk in and get the vaccinations they need to protect themselves against measles, whooping cough, COVID-19, and other diseases.

Rite Aid Family Immunization Days are walk-in clinics available to families providing convenient opportunities for them to get vaccinated on the weekends. Rite Aid Family Immunization Day will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, July 15. Bartell Drugs Family Immunization Day will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, July 22.

“As families get ready for back to school, now is the optimal time to ensure the entire family is vaccinated against spreading viruses and up to date on school-required vaccines,” said Karen Staniforth, Chief Pharmacy Officer at Rite Aid. “As a pharmacy focused on improving health outcomes in our communities, Rite Aid’s Family Immunization Days provide customers with access to the immunizations they need when it’s convenient for them. Our caring, trusted pharmacists are here to help and will have you in and out in no time at all.”

Rite Aid and Bartell Drugs pharmacists are trained to immunize adults and children three years of age and older. Customers can receive routine vaccinations that provide protection against certain diseases, some of which are required for certain ages, activities or overseas travel. These include shingles, TDAP, and HPV, among others, depending on age and state regulations.

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 age, conditions, or occupation.

Customers can contact their local Rite Aid or Bartell Drugs to see if it’s a participating location. Those who aren’t able to attend a Family Immunization Day can walk in or schedule an appointment for necessary vaccinations at their local Rite Aid today via the online scheduling tool.
