How can I get the COVID-19 antibody test?

The COVID-19 antibody test is available at urgent care centers , walk-in clinics , pharmacies, lab test providers, and hospitals, says the CDC. Contact your healthcare provider directly to find out if it offers the COVID antibody test, or use Solv to find a testing provider in your area. Solv also allows you to make a same- or next-day appointment.

How do COVID-19 antibody tests differ from diagnostic tests?

COVID-19 antibody tests can tell you if you have had a previous COVID-19 infection, says the FDA. In comparison, a diagnostic COVID test can tell you if you are currently infected by COVID-19. If your goal is to find out whether you currently have COVID-19, ask your healthcare provider about your options for diagnostic tests, or use Solv to find a nearby COVID-19 testing provider.

What should I expect when I take the antibody test?

According to New York City Health, the COVID-19 antibody test requires giving a blood sample. During the test, your healthcare provider will take a sample of your blood with a quick finger prick or by drawing blood from a vein in your arm. The NIH adds that this test usually only takes about five minutes. Your healthcare provider will contact you to discuss your results after they return.

I would like to thank and extend my gratitude to the doctors, nurses, and all staff at Geisinger-Lewistown ER. My visit on January 11, 2024 luckily turned out to be nothing major. I was very impressed by the care and attention given to me. Procedures were performed on a timely matter and results were explained to me which also included follow-up information. Thank you again for your dedication and care! Marcia Primak
