White House Announces That Uber and Lyft Will Offer Free Rides to Vaccination Sites
Anyone needing a ride to get a COVID-19 vaccine shot will be able to get a free trip from the ride-sharing companies Lyft and Uber, the White House announced Tuesday, in the latest push to encourage Americans to get vaccinated.
“The feature will launch in the next two weeks and run until July 4,” the White House said.
People who want to use the program would need to select a vaccination site near them and then redeem the companies’ offer of a free ride. The two ride-sharing firms will promote the offer in their apps.
