Scheduling a COVID-19 vaccine for a minor

Updated 1/18/22

Eligibility for the COVID-19 vaccine opened up to individuals 5+ across the country on Nov. 3, 2021 and Rite Aid is proud to help administer vaccines to all eligible individuals. 

There are two sets of authorized vaccines for individuals under 18 years of age. Individuals will only be able to schedule the type of vaccine authorized for their age group:

• Ages 5-11: a pediatric version of the Pfizer vaccine (only available at select stores - see list below)
• Ages 12-17: standard Pfizer vaccine (available at all stores); this age group has been authorized for a Pfizer booster at least 5 months after their initial series.

Today at Rite Aid, primary series appointments for 5-17 year olds and boosters for ages 12-15 can be booked directly through our scheduler. 

Learn more about the pediatric COVID-19 vaccine for ages 5-11. Visit our COVID-19 vaccine page for the latest on COVID-19.

Please note: for all minors receiving a COVID-19 vaccine, a parent or guardian must book their appointment and sign a consent form on their behalf, and they must be accompanied by an adult at their vaccination appointment.
