UberHEALTH Is Bringing House Calls Back
Last year Uber launched UberHEALTH, a pilot program that gave them valuable insights such as, ‘Convenience and delivery method are both key components of many people’s decision of whether or not to get a flu shot’.
With flu season right around the corner, they’re once again ready to help you beat the bug by delivering wellness packs for $10. If you request and receive a wellness pack, you’ll also have the option to get a free flu shot from a registered nurse for up to ten people.
I’ve been a bit down on Uber recently but put that aside and this is a fantastic opportunity for people seeking flu prevention when and where it’s most convenient for them.
HOW IT WORKS:
- Open your Uber app between 11 am and 3 pm
- Select the ‘UberHEALTH’ option and request. Pro Tip: Please select a suitable indoor location prior to UberHEALTH arriving.
- Upon arrival, users will receive a wellness pack for $10 and the option to request a flu shot from a registered nurse from Passport Health for up to ten people – at no cost.
- If you request a shot, the nurse will handle all paperwork and consent forms
- They expect demand for UberHEALTH to be high, so your patience is appreciated.
Unable to get UberHEALTH, but still interested in getting a flu shot? Use VaccineFinder to find the nearest shot provider nationwide.
DETAILS:
- Cost is $10 for wellness pack which includes a UberHEALTH water bottle, tissues, hand sanitizer, lollipop and recyclable UberHEALTH tote.
- Maximum of one wellness pack & ten free flu shots per request.
- All vaccinations (appropriate for ages 4 and up) will be administered by a registered nurse through Passport Health. All consent information and paperwork stays between the recipient and them.
First, Uber’s disruptive technology revolutionized transportation and now, they’re taking on healthcare…Smart!
