It typically takes 36-48 hours to receive the results of a COVID-19 swab test at AED Urgent Care. This test is conducted by a healthcare professional who will swab your nose or throat to determine if you have an active infection. However, not everyone may require a COVID-19 swab test, so it is advisable to contact your local AED Urgent Care to determine if testing is necessary. They offer both virtual and in-person consultations with medical care providers.
AED Urgent Care provides various services, including socially-distanced and sanitized waiting areas, COVID-19 tests (including rapid swab tests and at-home testing), antibody tests, and walk-in COVID-19 vaccinations.
Understanding COVID-19 test results is important. A negative test result means that the virus causing COVID-19 was not detected in your system. On the other hand, a positive test result indicates that the virus causing COVID-19 was found in your system. In the case of a positive result, it is recommended to stay home for at least 14 days, isolate from other family members, monitor your health, and seek medical assistance if you experience trouble breathing or constant chest pain. It’s important to note that no test is 100% accurate, and false positives and false negatives can occur.

Receiving a COVID-19 vaccine is the most effective and safest measure to prevent severe illness. Similar to other vaccines, the COVID-19 vaccine instructs your body on building its own defense against the virus responsible for this disease. Typically, the COVID-19 vaccine consists of two doses, with the second dose administered 14 to 28 days after the initial one. It takes approximately three weeks after the final dose to develop immunity. Access to COVID-19 vaccination is subject to availability and regulations set by your state. Please reach out to us for further information on obtaining a COVID-19 vaccine.
