BATON ROUGE - City-parish officials announced programs Wednesday that will make it easier for East Baton Rouge residents to get a COVID vaccine. 

Mayor Sharon Weston Broome said her office and HealthyBR are partnering with Uber and the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana Foundation to provide up to two roundtrip rides for East Baton Rouge residents to get to and from their appointments. The appointments must be at one of nine specified locations in the area. 

There will be a limited number of free rides to go around. Those looking to redeem the offer must use promo code '10MVBRLA' in the wallet section of the Uber app before requesting the ride. 

The city-parish is also partnering with Relief Telemed to host pop-up vaccination sites in underserved communities. 

The first pop-up site will be 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 1 at Greater Mt. Canaan Baptist Church (5820 Evangeline Street). You can register for that event here.

City-parish officials are also looking for volunteers to host future pop-up sites and asks that they fill out an interest form.

Eligible locations for the free rides can be found below.
