Accessible PCR Testing
COVID-19 Testing Options
You may not realize that there are actually several types of COVID test available. At Care Pharmacy we provide PCR COVID testing.A PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test is a more involved form of COVID test that can detect smaller amounts of the virus. This test requires a saliva sample.
There are other types of COVID testing, and they have their own benefits; the antigen test is quicker and effective for those whose viral load is high, but the PCR test may be more effective in detecting asymptomatic COVID. Don’t hesitate to discuss with your pharmacist which option might be right for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long before a booster is effective?
Studies show that the full effects of a COVID-19 booster vaccine will be active within two weeks of receiving the vaccine.
Which vaccine is safer for the elderly?
Many patients wonder which vaccine is better for them or their senior loved one. However, research shows that all of the COVID-19 vaccines currently available are safe for use by older adults, and seniors who received the vaccine are significantly safer than those who may contract COVID-19 while unvaccinated.
Why is a booster dose of the vaccine required?
While booster doses of the COVID-19 vaccine are not currently required, receiving a booster can offer you an extra level of protection from contracting the virus. Even if you do become sick with a breakthrough case of COVID, those who have been vaccinated three times tend to experience fewer effects and are sick for a shorter amount of time than those who have not.
