Titled “Vaccinate the Block,” the campaign developed by R/GA is asking the public to help Uber’s efforts to drive people across America to their vaccine appointments.
According to Uber, 45% of Americans lack public transportation access. Consequently, Uber is partnering with PayPal and Walgreens to create the Vaccine Access Fund to help Americans get to their vaccine appointments.
In total, Uber has pledged to provide 10 million free rides to vaccination centers to help curb the ongoing disastrous effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The film features Spike Lee, teaming up with photographer Tyle Mitchell.
“At Uber, we’re committed to helping ensure transportation is not a barrier to getting a vaccine,” said Julia Paige, Uber’s director of social impact, who is leading the distribution of the ad. “That’s why we’ve launched the in-app Uber Donate feature and the Vaccine Access Fund. With the help of nonprofit organization Local Initiatives Support Corporation, we’ll help those most in need reach a vaccine.”
In February, Uber already ran a similar initiative in Poland, providing 10,000 promo codes for rides to receive a vaccination. Prior to that, in March 2020, the company also supported Polish medics in the fight against Coid-19, covering the cost of 10,000 trips to hospitals and meals.
