Rite Aid is kicking off its Tackle the Flu sweepstakes to promote healthy communities and encourage customers to take an active role in safeguarding their health during the upcoming flu season.
From Oct. 11, 2024 through Nov. 12, 2024, anyone visiting their local participating Rite Aid store in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles or Seattle markets can enter the “Tackle the Flu” sweepstakes by scanning a QR code at the pharmacy counter for a chance to win two tickets to an upcoming home game for their local professional football team—no purchase or immunization required. One winner per market will be randomly selected on Nov. 15.
“When residents visit their Rite Aid store to participate in this sweepstakes, they’re encouraged to talk with their pharmacist about the many ways they can protect themselves and others in the community from the flu, COVID, RSV, pneumonia and more,” said Summer Kerley, group vice president, pharmacy growth and clinical programs. “We’re committed to providing convenient access to flu shots, expert advice and essential health products to make it easier for our communities to tackle the flu all season long so they can enjoy the game instead of grabbing for tissues.”

Rite Aid noted that many people are more susceptible to respiratory infections when the weather turns colder and they gather more frequently indoors. Rite Aid said that now is the ideal time to talk with your local pharmacist about the arsenal of vaccinations that can help protect yourself and others.
