"When a customer arrives for their vaccine appointment, we ask for identification to confirm the customer's appointment," Savarese said. Getting the Covid-19 vaccine would bring the family some peace of mind as they try to earn a living, Sebastian said. His dad, Alfredo, 60, was able to get the vaccine after showing the pharmacist his California ID, Sebastian said. After Rite Aid reached out to Sebastian and his family on Tuesday evening to apologize and reschedule his mom's first dose appointment, the family went to another Rite Aid location where Graciela was successfully vaccinated. Savarese said Rite Aid does ask for ID online when making a vaccine appointment but don't turn people away if they can't provide it.
