Walk-ins welcome for COVID-19 shots at these 2 Sacramento-area Rite Aids for limited time

Amid an explosion of COVID-19 cases, Rite Aid announced this week that it will be offering family immunization days at two of its Sacramento-area locations, allowing residents to get the COVID-19 vaccines or boosters without making an appointment.

Rite Aid’s family immunization days will be 2 p.m. to pharmacy close Wednesday, as well as Jan. 19 and Jan. 26, plus 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday and Jan. 22, at both 446 Roseville Square in Roseville and at 1730 Watt Ave. in Sacramento. The company has previously offered the vaccines and booster only by appointment.

Residents also can go to myturn.ca.gov to find other walk-in opportunities or make an appointment at sites all around the region, and many county health departments are also posting walk-in clinics on their health department websites.

Rite Aid will be able to provide the COVID-19 vaccines to anyone age 5 and over and boosters to residents 12 and up if it’s been five months since they had their second shot of the vaccine. Flu shots also will be offered.
