Tetanus shot at Rite Aid: the chain closed in 2025

What happened to Rite Aid

Rite Aid filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in May 2025, its second bankruptcy in under two years, and closed its final stores on October 3, 2025, ending a 63-year run.^[1] No Rite Aid retail pharmacies operate as of 2026. Any Tdap, Td, or Boostrix cash price you may have seen quoted for Rite Aid in the past no longer applies, because there is no Rite Aid counter to fill it.

Where your prescription and immunization records went

As stores wound down, Rite Aid sold its pharmacy files to competitors. Most prescription records transferred to CVS, with additional files going to Walgreens, Albertsons, Kroger, and Giant Eagle.^[2] Your local transfer depends on your market, so the surest way to find your records is to call the pharmacy that took over your former Rite Aid, or to use the legacy records portal Rite Aid still hosts at riteaid.com/pharmacy-records for prescription and immunization history.

Where to get a tetanus shot now

A Tdap booster is a routine walk-in at every major US pharmacy chain. With most ACA-compliant insurance in-network, the patient pays $0 at the counter. Paying cash, the warehouse-club pharmacies are usually cheapest: Sam's Club lists Boostrix near $50 and Costco near $53, both open to non-members in many states. A GoodRx Boostrix coupon starting around $60.86 often beats the cash price at the higher chains.
