What Type of Covid-19 Tests Are Available For Children
The two types of tests used for Covid-19 testing in children are:
PCR COVID-19 test
The Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test is the most accurate test for COVID-19. To conduct a PCR test, our healthcare team will take a nasal swab sample for the child. This sample will be sent to the lab to test for the presence of viral genetic material.
PCR tests can be used to detect COVID-19 in both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients since it is highly sensitive.
Night Lite Pediatrics Urgent Care is now offering Same-Day PCR Covid-19 testing to adults and pediatric patients. PCR Covid-19 testing with same-day results is only available at the Dr. Phillips “Tourist area” location: 8956 Dr. Phillips “Tourist area” Rd Suite 950, Orlando, FL 32819
COVID-19 Rapid Antigen test
The rapid antigen test is done by taking a nasal swab from the patient. The sample is then tested for the presence of COVID-19 viral proteins. This test is fast and results are usually ready in as little as an hour so you can get same-day results with a rapid antigen test.
The rapid antigen test is not as accurate as the PCR test. However, it is also a reliable way to test for COVID-19, especially when done a few days after the patient starts to show COVID-19 symptoms.
What To Expect When You Come For Testing
Once you come to our urgent care clinic, check in at the front desk with your insurance card and photo ID. Our team will be happy to guide you on the next steps. Walk-ins are welcome.
For your safety, we ask anyone visiting our clinics who is 2 years or older to wear a face mask. A mask can also be provided for you if you do not have one.
All our staff wear protective clothing and equipment during testing and evaluation to keep everyone safe.
When To Get Your Child Tested For COVID-19
