Uber, Lyft to provide free rides to vaccination sites in US

President Joe Biden is set to announce new efforts to get Americans vaccinated, including an expansion of free rides from Uber Technologies Inc. and Lyft Inc. to get shots and a partnership with community colleges to administer vaccines, the White House said.

Lyft and Uber will offer free rides through July 4 to anyone going to get vaccinated in the U.S. It’s an expansion of programs they were already providing to some low-income users in cooperation with pharmacies and non-profits.

The Biden administration and its federal pharmacy partners are also seeking to launch on-site vaccination clinics at community colleges in a bid to inoculate students, staff, and members of neighbouring communities.
