COVID, Flu Vaccination Clinic Coming To Newtown Square Rite Aid

NEWTOWN SQUARE, PA — Rite Aid in Newtown Square is hosting Family Immunization Days, providing families convenient opportunities to walk in and get the vaccinations they need to protect themselves against COVID-19, the flu and other diseases.

Rite Aid Family Immunization Days are walk-in clinics available to families providing convenient opportunities for them to get vaccinated after school, work and on the weekends.

Rite Aid Family Immunization Days take place from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 21 and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 15 at participating locations, including the Newtown Square location at 3599 West Chester Pike.

"With school underway and cold-weather season on the horizon, now is the optimal time to ensure the entire family is vaccinated against spreading viruses," said Karen Staniforth, Chief Pharmacy Officer at Rite Aid. "As a modern pharmacy focused on improving health outcomes in our communities, Rite Aid’s Family Immunization Days provide customers with convenient access to the immunizations they need whether it’s after work on a Wednesday or on a Saturday."

Rite Aid and Bartell Drugs pharmacists can immunize adults and children three years of age and older. The following immunizations are available while supplies last:

• COVID-19 – primary series and boosters for adults and eligible children
• Flu, including standard quadrivalent vaccines for all ages, with specific products for those over 65 and a limited supply nasal spray option for customers who are afraid of needles
• Other routine vaccinations that provide critical protection against certain diseases, some of which are required for certain ages, activities or for overseas travel. These include shingles, TDAP, 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 their age, conditions or occupation.

A full list of participating Rite Aid stores can be found here. Customers can also contact their local Rite Aid to see if it’s a participating location.

Those who aren’t able to attend a Family Immunization Day can schedule an appointment for necessary vaccinations at their local Rite Aid today via the online scheduling tool.
