He used Uber's one-day on-demand service. Customers who normally use the Uber smartphone app to call for a ride will be able to request a flu shot -- and a nurse in an Uber car will show up at their home or office in about three dozen cities across the country. There's a nationwide FluMist shortage so you'll probably have to get a shot. The on-demand flu shots will be available between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Passport Health, a travel-clinic company with locations across North America, is again providing the registered nurses. If you request a shot, the nurse will handle all paperwork and consent forms We expect demand for UberHEALTH to be high, so your patience is appreciated. Upon arrival, users will receive a wellness pack for $10 and the option to request a Fluzone® vaccine from a registered nurse from Passport Health for up to ten people – at no cost.

 John Brownstein, Ph.D., is the Director of Computational Epidemiology Group at Boston Children’s Hospital and Professor, Department of Biomedical Informatics at Harvard Medical School. Though experts say vaccination is the single best way to prevent the spread of influenza, only 30 percent of adults ages 18-49 get inoculated, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Nearly 80 percent said they were unlikely to have gotten the vaccine if not for the on-demand delivery, according to a paper released Tuesday in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

 Unable to get UberHEALTH, but still interested in getting a flu shot?
– Uber says it's now making "house calls," at least for one day. The ride-sharing service says that after the success of last year's program, it is offering flu shots to people in 35 cities for $10 between 11am and 3pm on Thursday, Nov. 19, the Washington Post reports. The shot—technically free, as long as a $10 "wellness pack" is purchased—comes with a nurse, who will actually deliver up to 10 shots with the purchase of that single pack, meaning you and your co-workers can take care of business for the low, low cost of $1 each. Of course, there may be a tussle over who gets to keep the pack, which includes an UberHEALTH-branded water bottle and tote, tissues, hand sanitizer, and a lollipop. Those who select the UberHEALTH option via their app are asked to "select a suitable indoor location prior to UberHEALTH arriving," and the shot may be administered to those ages 4 and up. The nurses will be provided by a company called Passport Health, which will share the costs of the program with Uber and health data-mining firm Epidemico, reports the Chicago Tribune. It adds that 10,000 shots will be available; 2,000 vaccinations were given in just four cities by Uber last year. Instructions on how to take part, and a list of all the cities covered, can be found on Uber's "UberHealth" page. (Last month, Uber drivers delivered something soft and fuzzy to cuddle-craving users in 50 cities.)
