With fall well under way, flu season is ready to pick up.
Uber wants to help fight off any potential disease by bringing back the idea of house calls with UberHEALTH — a pilot program started last year.
From 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. on Thursday the ride-sharing service we will be delivering wellness packs (which include a water bottle, tissues, hand sanitizer, lollipop and recyclable UberHEALTH tote) for $10 in 35 cities across the country.
Anyone who requests and receives a wellness pack will also have the option to request a free flu shot from a registered nurse for up to 10 people.
Just like requesting a ride, users can use the Uber app, and then select the "UberHEALTH" option.
Users are asked to select a suitable indoor location prior to UberHEALTH arriving. If you request a shot, the nurse will handle all paperwork and consent forms.
