Limited Time Offer: COVID Antibody Testing
Antibody or serology tests look for antibodies in your blood that fight the virus that causes COVID-19.
Antibodies are proteins created by your immune system that help you fight off infections. They are made after you have been infected or have been vaccinated against an infection.
Vaccination is a safe, effective way to teach your body to create antibodies.
Antibodies can protect you from getting those infections for some period of time afterward. How long this protection lasts is different for each disease and each person.
Antibody tests should generally not be used to diagnose a current infection with the virus that causes COVID-19. An antibody test may not show if you have a current infection because it can take 1 to 3 weeks after the infection for your body to make antibodies.
Whether you test positive or negative for COVID-19 antibodies using an antibody test, you still should take steps, including getting vaccinated, to protect yourself and others.
Due to popular demand, we are offering COVID antibody testing for a limited time. Our serology testing is a quick finger stick blood test, used to detect IgM (short term antibodies) and IgG (long term antibodies). We offer this test to anyone who is curious about their COVID serology status, but antibody testing should not be used for clinical decision making regarding vaccination or mitigation measures.
