Uber and Walgreens Team Up to Launch Ride Scheduling Feature for Coronavirus Vaccine Appointments
Uber and Walgreens have partnered up to offer customers a chance to book their vaccine appointment and schedule their ride at the same time.
The newest feature, which can be found on the Uber app, is available to all adults within the U.S. who are eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Users will be able to install the Uber app and click on the “vaccine” option which will redirect them to a page to schedule an appointment at Walgreens.
After adding a zip code and selecting from the available appointment times, the user will have the option to reserve a ride to the appointment by scheduling a pickup time and location. Before the appointment, a push notification will send a reminder of the upcoming ride.
