At every tour stop, attendees can step into the tour bus for a complimentary blood glucose test to help identify risk for developing diabetes. For people already living with diabetes, an A1C test will be available to show average blood glucose levels over the past three months. They also can speak with a Rite Aid pharmacist about their test results and learn more about how Rite Aid can help them manage their diabetes.
Free educational materials, product samples and special offers will be available. Flu shots will also be available inside each Rite Aid pharmacy, subject to state regulations. Flu shots are $27.99 each and are covered by many insurance plans, including Medicare Part B.
