Mill Valley Rite Aid Offering Flu Shots

MILL VALLEY, CA — Rite Aid now offers flu shots and has opened additional, no-charge COVID-19 drive-thru testing at pharmacies across the state, including in the North Bay.

This year isn't like most in the past and health officials are encouraging people to get a flu shot.
