CAMP HILL, Pa. — Now through Sept. 28, Rite Aid is sweetening the deal for annual flu shots by offering customers a coupon for one free scoop of Thrifty Ice Cream when they get their seasonal flu shot at one of the nearly 600 Rite Aid pharmacies in California.

Customers can redeem their coupon after being immunized against the flu at any California Rite Aid location that features a hand-dipped Thrifty Ice Cream counter.

“Thrifty Ice Cream is a beloved and iconic brand in the state of California, and we’re thrilled to be offering our customers a delicious treat when they make a convenient visit to their local Rite Aid to get a seasonal flu shot through Sept. 28,” said David Abelman, executive vice president of marketing.

“Getting an annual flu shot is the single best way to protect yourself from getting the flu each year and also helps to contain the spread of flu at home, at work and in your community,” said Jocelyn Konrad, executive vice president of pharmacy. “We encourage those in the communities we serve to stay flu free by getting their annual flu shot from one of our certified immunizing pharmacists, who are available during regular pharmacy business hours with no appointment necessary.”

Seasonal flu shots are available at the more than 2,500 Rite Aid pharmacies across the country.

Patients can visit any Rite Aid pharmacy to receive a flu shot from one of Rite Aid’s more than 6,000 certified immunizing pharmacists, subject to state regulations.
