Talabat UAE, a food and quick commerce delivery platform, has announced the completion of its nationwide voluntary rider vaccination programme, with its entire fleet of over 15,000 riders fully vaccinated across all seven emirates.

The initiative was accomplished in close collaboration with the Department of Health - Abu Dhabi and Abu Dhabi Health Services Company (Seha), and the Ministry of Health and Prevention in less than a year, since its inception in December last year.

“We are extremely grateful to our riders for choosing to vaccinate, and we are proud to say that all of our riders have made this choice. By ensuring their safety, and that of the communities they serve, our riders are taking an active role in the UAE’s continued journey to recovery,” said Jérémy Doutté, vice-president UAE at talabat.
