On November 19th, residents of 35 major cities across the U.S. were able to pay a small fee for a wellness package and up to 10 flu shots - from transportation mogul Uber!
Within the same app customers already use to request rides, they were also able to request a flu shot. For just $10, Uber made house calls (or office calls) with licensed nurses who administered flu shots for up to 10 people per request. Uber hopes to use these UberHEALTH days to work toward a healthier future for all.
Since convenience is a major factor contributing to whether adults choose to get vaccinated against the flu, Uber hopes to use its new feature to progressively increase the percent of the population who gets the shot - a percentage that currently hovers under 50.
