COVID-19 Startup Curative Contracts Wisconsin-Based Company for COVID-19 Vaccine Deliveries

Curative to Use Elite EXTRA to Expedite Deliveries to Nursing Homes in California

January 5, 2020

EAU CLAIRE, WI — Advanced dispatch software Elite EXTRA has been contracted by California COVID-19 testing startup Curative to create optimized routes to transport the coronavirus vaccine to 3,000 nursing homes in Los Angeles County. This marks one of the first distributions of the vaccine to recipients outside of healthcare. Curative, which has successfully developed a COVID-19 test that uses an orthogonal supply chain to keep critical test materials readily available, was contracted by LA County to do the vaccinations to those nursing homes over the next two weeks.

Applied Data Consultants President and Founder Jim Ward, owner of the Elite EXTRA software that creates and dispatches optimal routes, announced that his company’s technology will be key in distributing the vaccine, especially to a vulnerable population that has been hit so dramatically by the virus.

“We’re thrilled to play a small yet vital role in getting the vaccine distributed to those who need it most, hopefully marking the beginning of the end of this dark chapter in human history” said Ward. “We know time is of the essence and creating optimized and efficient routes will help to ensure that the vaccine is distributed as quickly as possible.”

Countries across the globe have already started their vaccine programs. In the United States, priority will be given to healthcare workers and residents of long-term-care facilities, and healthy citizens might not receive a vaccine until April or thereafter.

The FDA recently voted and approved the emergency use of both the Pfizer-BionNTech and Moderna vaccines. As such, transporting the vaccine via the most efficient routes, while tracking them in real-time and ensuring that they arrive when and where they need to be will be critical.

“Curative is proud to be partnering with Elite EXTRA to deliver the COVID-19 vaccine to those who need it most right now,” said Fred Turner, CEO and co-founder of Curative. “Dispatching of the vaccine with a safe delivery to patients is Curative’s main objective right now and working hand-in-hand with Elite EXTRA will make that possible.”

Curative also offers oral-fluid swab testing—an alternative method to nasopharyngeal or brain swabs in testing for COVID-19. The observed and directed self-collected oral fluid swab helps in eliminating the need for personal protective equipment (PPE) changes.
