Uber, Moderna Partner to Increase Access to COVID-19 Vaccines

What You Should Know:

Moderna and Uber announced a partnership to work together initially to provide accessible, credible information on COVID-19 vaccine safety through Uber’s in-app messaging.

– The two companies will also work with public health and
other organizations to identify additional opportunities to support ongoing
efforts to broaden access to COVID-19
vaccines.

– Additional options being evaluated include incorporating
ride scheduling directly into the immunization appointment process, and
possibly integrating with vaccine providers’ systems to text reminders and
enable patients to book rides in advance of their first or second immunization
appointments.

– While initially targeting Uber users in the United States,
the companies anticipate expanding this partnership globally in the coming
months alongside ongoing immunization efforts.
