All rideshare and delivery drivers are essential to keeping our communities moving. As of April 19th, all adults in the US and Puerto Rico will be eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
In this guide, we’ll share information from your state to help you navigate the process, which we know can be complicated and confusing. The official information from county, state, and federal government agencies changes rapidly. We’ll update this guide with more information as it becomes available, but you may need to check local guidance as well.
Select your state below to find information on the COVID-19 vaccine rollout in your state.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I know if I am eligible for early stage vaccinations?
Some states are providing priority access to drivers or delivery people. State and local governments are responsible for setting eligibility criteria, and you should consult your state’s website for the latest information.
- Do I still need to wear a mask after receiving the vaccine?
Yes, as of now, all riders, drivers, and delivery people are still required to wear masks while on a trip, even if they have already received a vaccine. This is to help keep each other safe, and it’s recommended by the CDC.
- What do I do if there aren’t any appointments available?
Unfortunately, vaccine availability varies depending on where you are. Please refer to your local government’s website for updated information.
- How much does the vaccine cost?
The vaccine will be available to you at no cost. If you have insurance, you may be asked to provide details.
- What do I need to provide to get a vaccine?
Certain states may require proof that you meet additional eligibility criteria. Please refer to your state-specific information below for more details.
In general, you may want to bring to your appointment a government-issued ID and proof of health insurance coverage, if you are insured. If you’re asked to prove essential worker status at the appointment, you can show your in-app essential worker card. This card can be found in the Driver app through the COVID-19 section of the app.
How to access the in-app essential worker card. - Do I have to get a vaccine to continue earning with Uber?
Currently there is no requirement to get a vaccine in order to continue to drive or deliver with Uber.

You may qualify if you do a combination of rides or Uber Eats, depending on your state’s criteria.
