Access to COVID-19, Flu, and RSV Testing Available
For the first time this fall, the United States must contend with a flu season wrapped within a global pandemic, as noted recently by a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Premier Health and CompuNet Clinical Laboratories are taking steps to ensure that residents can receive their seasonal flu immunizations safely. During the pandemic, anyone exhibiting flu-like symptoms can be safely tested after first obtaining a physician’s order.
If deemed appropriate by their provider, the patient can visit one of the following locations and, with the collection of a single swab, be tested for both COVID-19 and seasonal influenza:
- Individuals must have a physician’s order for COVID-19 and or flu test.
- For patient service centers: patients should schedule appointments online. The OnMain location does not require appointments.
- It is preferable to use online scheduling to ensure the patient gets the appointment time they desire, however, if a patient does not have internet access, they may call the “COVID-19/Flu/RSV” phone number
