“#Uber launches program offering $25 discount on rides to vax sites<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Uber\u00a0Technologies on Monday launched its COVID-19 vaccine rides program in partnership with the White House, offering all Americans an up to $25 discount for each of their trip<\/a>s to and from a vaccination site.<\/p>\n

Customers who have booked a vaccine app<\/a>ointment can request a ride through the\u00a0Uber\u00a0app and either incur no charges if the trip costs less than $25, or receive a $25 discount for their journey, the company said.<\/p>\n

Drivers will receive the full payment for the trip,\u00a0Uber\u00a0said.<\/p>\n

With two of the three COVID-19 vaccines available in the United States requiring two separate shots,\u00a0Uber\u00a0would pay a maximum of $100 per passenger under the program. A company spokesman said\u00a0Uber\u00a0does not have an estimate for the number of vaccine rides it expects to provide.<\/p>\n

U.S. President Joe Biden two weeks ago announced the partnership with\u00a0Uber\u00a0and its rival Lyft in an effort to boost COVID-19 vaccination rates at a time when U.S. demand for vaccines has declined.<\/p>\n

Many states are offering incentives, from free food and drinks to a chance at winning a lottery, in order to get more Americans to roll up their sleeves for a COVID-19 shot.<\/p>\n

Biden has set a target of getting 70 percent of U.S. adults inoculated by July 4 so the country can be safely reopened for celebrations and small Independence Day holiday gatherings. As of Thursday, 48% of Americans have received at least one vaccine dose, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.<\/p>\n

For\u00a0Uber\u00a0and Lyft, the vaccine efforts also come as the companies seek to have drivers and riders return to the road and recover revenue lost during the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Lyft has said customers booking a vaccine ride will receive a $15 discount per trip.<\/p>\n

The nationwide rides discounts build on existing vaccination programs\u00a0Uber\u00a0and Lyft launched at the end of last year to assist vulnerable communities lacking healthcare and transportation access.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
