Rite Aid announced that at select Rite Aid locations, including Rite Aid-owned Bartell Drugs, it will be providing Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines to children ages 3 years old and older once shipments arrive to select pharmacies later this week.

Beginning this summer, Homeward and Rite Aid will partner to connect underserved seniors with providers and other clinical services.

In response to the lingering COVID-19 pandemic, retailers, including Hy-Vee, Rite Aid, Kroger, Wegmans and H-E-B, are expanding COVID-19 vaccinations to adults and children, antiviral medications and COVID-19 tests.

Rite Aid Healthy Futures has provided $3 million in grant funding to 34 children’s hospitals through its Connecting Communities signature initiative.

Rite Aid customers who shop online will be able to pay for their purchases by using Afterpay to make four installments at no additional cost when paid on time.

With a ​​​​​​​prescription from their healthcare provider, Rite Aid customers have increased access to Paxlovid and Molnupiravir.

Rite Aid’s board concluded that the proposal was not credible and did not warrant further exploration.

Growth in the retail pharmacy segment drove a 2.5% and 2.2% hike in Rite Aid's revenues for the quarter and year, respectively.

​​​​​​​Medicare Part B will cover up to eight over-the-counter COVID-19 tests each month.

The retailer is streamlining its operations by eliminating the chief operating officer role and consolidating its pharmacy leadership.
