CHARLOTTE, NC — Now you can get a free or low-cost ride to and from your scheduled COVID-19 vaccination. The respective health divisions of Harris Teeter and Lyft will provide free or reduced-price rides to select Harris Teeter grocery stores, including 21 in Charlotte. Lyft Healthcare, Inc., and Harris Teeter forged a partnership earlier this month to vaccinate those living in underserved and marginalized communities across America. The partnership will provide free or discounted rides to communities in 31 states and the District of Columbia. People scheduling vaccinations at participating Harris Teeter locations will receive a Lyft ride code with their appointment confirmation that will cover about $12 per ride to and from the appointment for both one- and two-dose vaccinations, Lyft officials said. "Access to reliable transportation represents a major barrier to care for millions of Americans across the country, especially for vulnerable communities," Lyft Vice President of Healthcare Megan Callahan said. "We're proud to partner with Harris Teeter to address transportation barriers that will support equitable vaccine access for those who need it most." "Harris Teeter's most urgent priority throughout the COVID-19 pandemic has been the health and safety of our shoppers and our valued associates," said Danna Robinson, communication manager for Harris Teeter, in a statement. "We are immensely proud of the efforts our pharmacy teams have made to help re-open our communities through vaccination, and we are thrilled to enhance these efforts by partnering with Lyft to provide ride-access to vaccine appointments in many of the areas where we operate stores."
