[Greater-Baltimore] Baltimore County offers Uber rides to COVID-19 vaccine clinics to those in need; home visits also available

[Danielsen, Chris]

Baltimore County will schedule and cover the cost for Uber rides for residents who do not have other transportation options to ensure they can travel to
COVID-19 vaccine clinic sites, County Executive Johnny Olszewski announced Friday. County residents who have made a vaccine appointment but do not have
access to other transportation options can call 311 to be connected to CountyRide staff, who will schedule an Uber ride for the resident. After receiving
their vaccine, staff at the vaccine clinic will be available to help schedule rides home. The county is using coronavirus relief act funds to support this
effort. Residents who have been certified homebound by their physician should complete Baltimore County's vaccine registration. County staff will then contact
the resident to schedule a time to receive their vaccine. Public health nurses will partner with EMTs from the Baltimore County Fire Department to travel
to residents' homes via a mobile unit to administer vaccines.
