• Uber and Lyft are planning to have free transportation to vaccination clinics in the United States.

• Uber and Lyft are expected to give free rides to anyone travelling to or from Covid-19 vaccination sites in the US.

•  They will  be available within the next two weeks via the taxi firms' apps until 4 July as part of government measures to improve vaccine take-up, the White House announced on Tuesday.

Both transport companies have reported that the deal would not have an impact on drivers' take-home pay.

Vaccination efforts

The collaboration comes after Uber sent a letter to the Biden team in December, offering assistance with vaccinations.




In Uber and Lyft free tours to US vaccine sites are available. Free trips to or from Covid-19 immunization sites in the United States to everyone visiting. The applications of the taxi companies will be available until 4 July in the following two weeks. This move is part of government efforts to expand the use of vaccines, announced the White House. The administration is seeking motivation to be vaccinated since the American demand for vaccinations is decreasing dramatically.


Biden will pledge support for on-the-ground vaccine promotion programs by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). McDonald's announced on Tuesday that printing "We can do that" slogans, alongside links to websites with further information about vaccines, on its coffee cups.

Consumer giant Unilever will also be giving away milkshakes and ice creams to healthcare workers and those getting vaccinated across several US sites on 14 May.
