Free vaxi taxi service to get vaccinated in Luton

Luton Council are pleased to offer this free taxi service for Luton residents who need transport to get vaccinated

The Luton Council COVID-19 website page says “We know that the cost of travel can be a barrier to getting vaccinated. In an effort to improve vaccination uptake among the residents of Luton it is now possible to book a free taxi to and/or from your vaccination appointment or walk-in site.
