Uber is partnering with a statewide LGBTQ+ civil rights organization to provide free rides to monkeypox vaccination sites throughout California, officials announced Tuesday.
"As vaccines are becoming increasingly available across our state, it's critical to ensure transportation is not neglected," said Tony Hoang, executive director of Equality California."We are immensely grateful for our long-standing partnership with Uber and their commitment to full lived equality for all LGBTQ+ people.
While people of any sexual orientation can get monkeypox, it is primarily impacting gay and bisexual men, particularly in Black and Hispanic communities.People who walk into a vaccination site have to attest to their eligibility to receive a monkeypox inoculation, and the shot will only be provided if the vaccination location has doses available. Those who want to ensure they receive the vaccine should book appointments online at myturn.ca.gov.
According to health officials, the vaccine can prevent infection if given before or shortly after exposure to the virus.
