Important information

We all look forward to the day when vaccines are widely accessible, but it’s important to remember that testing will continue to play a critical role in preventing the spread of COVID-19, even as vaccines are rolling out.

Why keep testing after the vaccine rollout?

Why keep testing after the vaccine rollout?

The rollout of COVID-19 vaccines is a welcome and hopeful new chapter in the fight against the global pandemic. But it’s important to remember that testing will continue to be vital in preventing the spread of the coronavirus, even as vaccines become more widely available.

  • Vaccinated individuals could still be exposed to individuals with COVID-19.
  • It’s still unknown the extent to which COVID-19 vaccines will prevent asymptomatic disease, which is currently believed to be responsible for more than 50% of infections.
  • Like the flu, new variants of the coronavirus will continue to form over time. Available vaccines may not fully protect against these new variants.

Flexible testing solutions

We recognize that every business has its own unique needs. With Return Ready, organizations can combine their rapid worksite testing program with additional, convenient solutions for their employees.

Point-of-care molecular diagnostic testing is our core offering, providing results in minutes right at the worksite.

Set up a consultation

In addition to on-site testing, employers may also choose to utilize point-of-care testing at a select CVS Pharmacy location, enabling a distributed workforce to get tested off-site in minutes.

Set up a consultation

As another available add-on to rapid on-site testing, employers may also wish to provide a swab-and-send testing option, which can be performed either at the worksite or a CVS Pharmacy location with results available within one to two days.

Returning to workplaces safely

Our latest white paper evaluates the relationship between diagnostic testing and infection control in a range of workplace scenarios. It is based on model simulations of realistic conditions and variables such as cohort size, the fraction of time spent at work, team networks and infection rates inside and outside the workplace.

While vaccine availability continues to improve, strategic COVID-19 testing will remain essential for employers to allow people to return to workplaces safely.

Important information

COVID-19 testing does not eliminate the risk of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 or Coronavirus Disease 2019. Further, available testing procedures may produce false negative or false positive results due to a variety of factors. Clients should consider these factors in developing their return to workplace policies and procedures. The COVID-19 pandemic has created an unprecedented and still-evolving legal landscape for clients. You may need to consider various federal, state, and local laws, regulations, or other mandates when developing your return to worksite plans. Competent legal counsel should be consulted. This is not intended to be a complete description of the terms and conditions of the Return Ready program. Services described would be provided by CVS Pharmacy, Inc. or a subsidiary, including but not limited to MinuteClinic, LLC and its subsidiaries and managed entities. In addition, access to additional health and safety solutions such as contact tracing, symptom checker and thermal scanner may be through third parties. Not all services available in all locations.
