Customers can now schedule appointments at Riteaid.com and Bartelldrugs.com

Following FDA authorization and CDC recommendation, Rite Aid (NYSE: RAD) today announced that scheduling is now available for eligible customers seeking the updated COVID-19 (2023-2024) vaccines at its locations and at Bartell Drugs locations in the Pacific Northwest. Appointments are available beginning on Friday, September 22.

“Rite Aid looks forward to providing our customers access to the updated COVID-19 (2023-2024) vaccine to safeguard the health and wellbeing of our communities heading into respiratory season,” said Karen Staniforth, Chief Pharmacy Officer at Rite Aid. “We strongly encourage everyone to prepare by staying up to date on all recommended immunizations.”

The updated COVID-19 vaccine provides enhanced protection against currently circulating variants of COVID-19. The vaccine is recommended for individuals six months and older. An updated COVID-19 vaccine is needed for those who have not received a COVID-19 vaccine in the past two months, according to the CDC. Rite Aid pharmacists are trained to immunize customers ages three and older.
