DR. B: new startup working to connect soon-to-be wasted vaccine doses with standby recipients.
The Verge covers Dr. B, the new startup working to connect soon-to-be wasted vaccine doses with standby recipients.
The site: https://hidrb.com/ has users fill out their home zip code and a basic questionnaire to help determine where they fall within state eligibility tiers. When a provider has extra thawed doses, which must be administered within six hours, Dr. B texts nearby participants while giving priority according to local health guidelines.
Since Dr. B has access to granular health information on each participant, the site could help distribute leftover vaccines directly to the most vulnerable. The service is currently operating only for sites in New York and Arkansas, but is vetting over 200 providers across the country.
