GeneIQ Partners with Local Businesses and Employers to Offer On-site COVID-19 Testing and Free Vaccines; Announces Plans to Expand Testing Nationwide

DALLAS, Feb. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- GeneIQ, a molecular diagnostics company based in Dallas, is supporting local businesses that strive to provide safe workplace environments for employees via COVID-19 testing and vaccination services. The Workplace Safety initiative will expand in February and launch in over twenty new states that have low vaccination rates and/or high positivity rates to target small to mid-sized businesses. The objective is to assist companies nationwide in maintaining safe workplace environments as they navigate Omicron and future waves of additional variants. GeneIQ will engage these companies to offer a convenient and customized program for testing and reporting that meets their specific needs.

Through their on-site COVID-19 testing services, GeneIQ provides both 10-minute rapid antigen tests along with PCR tests with a 24 to 48-hour turnaround time from the time of receipt. Both tests are non-invasive and can be self-administered by the patient via nasal or saliva methodologies. GeneIQ's PCR-based assay has been confirmed to detect the Omicron variant and is highly accurate with a positive predictive value (PPV) of 100% and a negative predictive value (NPV) of 98.5%.

GeneIQ Vaccine Direct offers on-site administration of COVID-19 vaccines at zero cost and is DSHS approved to administer Moderna, Pfizer, and Johnson & Johnson vaccines and boosters in Texas. An on-site medical team is provided, along with a registration platform to ensure efficient processing and that all state reporting requirements are met. Patients can receive the vaccine at no cost with insurance or through the federal government program for the uninsured. There are no costs or hidden fees for participating organizations.

Throughout the pandemic, GeneIQ has been trusted by over 500 public and private corporations, institutions, universities, and independent school districts to provide COVID-19 testing and vaccination services. These partnerships are part of a strategic initiative by GeneIQ's Vaccine Direct division to support local entities with zero-cost, on-site COVID-19 vaccinations.
