Brent Huot received his first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine in early March. Despite being below the age of eligibility, and healthy, he had an in: he was signed up as a driver for DoorDash, the gig-work food delivery app. In reality, Huot hadn’t delivered a single order. And he didn’t plan on starting. “I just went on the app, created a profile,” said Huot, a 20-year-old Syracuse University student who got his vaccine in New York State. “[It] took a few hours to confirm me, then I was in and good to go and use that as a reason to get vaccinated.” Huot isn’t alone, either. While young people are just this week becoming eligible for COVID-19 vaccination in some states, those eager to get the vaccine early have for some time now found a relatively simple loophole to jump the line: food-delivery apps.
