UPS uses Matternet drones to deliver COVID-19 vaccines - Venture Beat

UPS has begun using Matternet drones to deliver COVID-19 vaccines to a hospital in North Carolina.

Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist medical center is believed to be the first to receive COVID-19 vaccine deliveries by drones in the country.

This new initiative – operated by UPS and its subsidiary, UPS Flight Forward– expands Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist’s existing drone program that was launched in July 2020. The World Health Organization estimates that up to 50% of vaccines are wasted globally every year, largely due to temperature control failure, said Matternet CEO Andreas Raptopoulos, in a statement.
