Uber Giving Out Flu Shots Today, But You Better Hurry!

For many, Flu Shots are a necessary right of passage into the Fall and Winter months. The immunizations are increasingly easy to get, with many pharmacies across the United States administering them on a walk-in basis. Sometimes you just can't find the time to get your Flu Shot in, though, which is where Uber comes into play. A new pilot program, which will only last a day and is only available in select cities, will see nurses bringing the Flu Shot to you.

A roaming band of nurses, replete with pre-loaded needles full of the influenza vaccine, will be escorted through the streets of Boston, Washington DC, and New York. If you need a flu shot, you better hurry — they're only operating for a few more hours. Called UberHEALTH, this flu shot delivery system is only around until 3PM EST.

Best of all, Uber says UberHEALTH is free to use. All vaccinations and deliveries (the nurse's ride) are free. You can either order a flu prevention pack (10 shots), or have a nurse administer those shots for you, all free of charge. If you want the nurse to administer those shots for you and up to ten others, Uber asks that you make sure you have a suitable indoor environment for the vaccine to go down.

For every shot given, Uber is donating $5 to the Red Cross to support Measles and Rubella vaccines for kids.

If you're stuck at home or in the office, stop reading and get into the Uber app to schedule your Flu Shot! you've only got about two more hours!
