Please be aware this free testing program will be ending on March 31, 2023. Testing at these locations may still be available after March 31st but might involve out-of-pocket costs depending on the criteria for no-cost testing through your insurance or a government-funded program.
VDH has partnered with Walgreens Pharmacy to offer free COVID-19 antigen tests (using Abbott BinaxNOW tests) at many stores across the state. Stores participating in the program are listed below. Walgreens staff will watch patients collect the nasal swab for the COVID-19 test. Walgreens staff will then run the test and provide results within 24 hours. Tests are for adults and children aged 3 and older. VDH suggests using these tests for those who:
- have COVID-19 symptoms.
- have been in close contact with someone known or suspected to have COVID-19,
- those at high risk of illness, and
- frontline staff, such as those who work in schools, childcare, and healthcare.
If you feel sick and think you may have COVID-19, getting an antigen (or PCR) test is important to see if you have the illness so you can take action quickly (such as isolating yourself from family members, if needed).
Appointments are scheduled through the Walgreens website. Enter your zip code and select “Rapid Antigen Test ” to locate tests that are covered as part of this partnership. The form to schedule an appointment may ask about your symptoms and health insurance information. Note that health insurance is not required to schedule an appointment, and patients do not need to pay for testing.
