The famous ride-hailing app, Careem has recently launched a new feature in its Super App, which allows users to book a ride to any Covid19 vaccination center in Pakistan.
The new “Get vaccinated” tool incorporates comprehensive information from official government sources on the vaccines being provided in the country, their eligibility, and the timings and locations of all centers across the country. Using this feature, customers can easily contact the nearest vaccination center through the app and schedule a hassle-free ride, eliminating all traffic and parking concerns.
- Updated mapped locations, phone numbers, and operating hours of each site are now available on the Super App.
- Careem has built this information into the new tool/widget within the Super App.
“We are grateful to the local and federal government that has put in tremendous efforts to provide easy accessibility for citizens to get vaccinated. We wanted to play our role to encourage people of Pakistan who want to get vaccinated by making that process easier,” said Zeeshan Baig, CEO and Country General Manager, Careem Pakistan.
