Beat The Cold This Winter: Push A Button And A Nurse Will Arrive To Give You Flu Shots

Flu season is on its way, and there's a chance you can beat it this Friday with the push of a button. Beats sniffling your way through another weekend.

Flu season is here, and it looks like Man Flu is running riot across the country.

As temperatures bounce between that icy chill one day to the warm, summer-reminders the next, our bodies are more prone to catching the flu.

But, with a single tap of a button you can beat it.

This Friday, Uber are teaming up with Discovery and Dis-Chem to bring you flu shots, right to your doorstep.

Sounds pretty cool.

At a flat-rate of R100, a Dis-Chem nurse will arrive within minutes to help you stay clear of any snotty business this season.

How it works:

  • Open your Uber app at 10:00 AM on Friday, 22 April
  • Toggle over to the cross icon and select UberHEALTH
  • Set your pickup location and request a ride as usual
  • If successful, a Discovery-accredited Dis-Chem nurse will arrive within minutes, ready to administer up to five flu vaccinations

T&Cs

  • You must be 18 years or older to request
  • Discovery-accredited Dis-Chem nurses can administer up to 5 individual vaccinations at one visit, for a flat rate of R100
  • Available in selected areas of Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and Port Elizabeth
  • The vaccine is free of charge: you will only pay R100 to cover the cost of the trip when you request through the Uber app

Go on, beat the bug this Friday.
