Tests will be sent to an independent, third-party lab for processing and the results will be available in approximately three days. Patients will be required to stay in their cars and directed to the pharmacy drive-thru window where they will be provided with a test kit and given instructions, and a CVS Pharmacy team member will observe the self-swab process to ensure it is done properly.
Patients must register in advance at CVS.com beginning Friday, May 22 to schedule an appointment. Self-swab tests will be available to individuals meeting Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria, in addition to age guidelines. We are grateful to CVS Health for making more drive-through sites available for Arizonans to get tested." "As we gradually re-energize our economy, we will continue to follow public health guidance. " Arizona is focused on increasing access to testing," said Governor Ducey. The index tracks a variety of census variables including poverty, lack of access to transportation, and crowded housing that may weaken a community's ability to prepare for and recover from hazardous events like natural disasters and disease outbreaks. Once fully operational, more than half of the company's 1,000 test sites will serve communities with the greatest need for support, as measured by the CDC's Social Vulnerability Index. "By further expanding the number of drive-thru test sites available across our retail network, more people can be tested closer to home in a familiar setting." "As we move into a new phase of combatting the pandemic and as communities begin to safely open up their local economies, we need testing to be easily accessible," said Troyen Brennan, MD, MPH, Chief Medical Officer and Executive Vice President, CVS Health. The 26 test sites in Arizona are part of a total of nearly 350 locations across 14 states including Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Texas. CVS Health expects to have up to 1,000 locations across the country offering this service by the end of May, with the goal of processing up to 1.5 million tests per month, subject to availability of supplies and lab capacity. A MinuteClinic employee will take a finger stick blood sample for the test and go over the results with the patient.These new sites will utilize self-swab tests and mark the next phase of the company's nationwide COVID-19 testing strategy, announced April 27. The test looks for the presence of COVID-19 antibodies created by a previous infection. “Being able to provide patients with easy access to a rapid antibody test at MinuteClinic locations to help determine previous infection is a natural extension of our ongoing commitment to supporting Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic.” “After successfully piloting the antibody test offering at more than 100 MinuteClinic locations earlier this year, and recently launching the service at all of our clinic locations in Massachusetts and Texas, we have seen steady interest in affordable COVID-19 antibody testing,” said Sharon Vitti, president of MinuteClinic. The test can help determine if a person has previously been infected with COVID-19. COVID-19 antibody testing will now be available at CVS MinuteClinic locations across the country and will not require a doctor’s order or appointment.
