Uber announced on Wednesday that it will now allow passengers to book COVID-19 vaccine appointments at Walgreens drugstores across the country through their app.
The company’s vaccine-booking tool is expanding a previously announced partnership with drug store giant Walgreens. Uber has originally offered to provide some free rides to people to get to their vaccine appointments.
“We’re committed to helping ensure that transportation is not a barrier to getting vaccinated. We know that by making it easier to get to an appointment, more people will get vaccinated,” Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi explained. “By partnering with Walgreens, our goal is to make getting that shot as easy as booking a ride with Uber.”
