Pharmacy giants Walgreens and Uber Technologies, Inc., have joined forces to help underserved Americans get access to COVID-19 vaccines. They have also partnered with the National Urban League to help reduce vaccine hesitancy among communities of color.

According to The Hill, the companies announced Tuesday that people who make vaccine appointments at Walgreens will get free rides from Uber to their destination. This move, along with embarking upon an education program with the National Urban League, can help address key issues that are hindering vaccine efforts nationwide.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that certain ethnic and racial groups have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19 and are hesitant to trust the vaccine. They may also lack transportation which would impede their efforts even if they are convinced it is safe to get inoculated.

Once a patient schedules an appointment for the COVID-19 vaccine at Walgreens or even an off-site clinic operated by the pharmacy, the patient will be sent a email with an offer to schedule a free ride, according to The Hill. The ride-share company Uber has committed to providing 10 million free or discounted rides to remove any transportation barriers that hinder vaccine administration.

“Transportation should never be a barrier to healthcare,” said Dara Khosrowshashi, CEO of Uber.

The National Urban League, a civil rights organization that advocates the rights of African Americans, will help round out efforts by providing information and education on the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines to help diminish vaccine hesitancy.

A recent survey showed that more than half of Black adults in the U.S. remain skeptical about getting the COVID-19 vaccine and healthcare officials say that the data shows the importance of providing equitable access to all communities and build trust within these communities. According to CNBC, the National Urban League will also help Walgreens and Uber identify needy parties who may need rides.

The pilot program will begin in Chicago, Atlanta, Houston, and El Paso before expanding to other cities, with Atlanta offering free rides as early as next week.
