Moderna (Nasdaq: MRNA), a biotechnology company pioneering messenger RNA (mRNA) therapeutics and vaccines, and Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: UBER), the world’s leading ridesharing and delivery platform, today announced a collaboration to explore ways to help support the uptake of COVID-19 vaccines.
Moderna and Uber will work together initially to provide accessible, credible information on vaccine safety through Uber’s in-app messaging. The two companies will also work with public health and other organizations to identify additional opportunities to support ongoing efforts to broaden access to COVID-19 vaccines. Additional options being evaluated include incorporating ride scheduling directly into the immunization appointment process, and possibly integrating with vaccine providers’ systems to text reminders and enable patients to book rides in advance of their first or second immunization appointments.
