Choosing Your COVID-19 Booster Shot

For guidance and who is eligible for boosters follow the BLUE link below to the CDC Website for details and guidance.

Rapid Antigen Test UpdateThe Indiana Department of Health has depleted its inventory of rapid antigen COVID-19 tests and does not expect any additional deliveries for the foreseeable future due to a national shortage. Please use PCR tests when your inventory runs out or advise patients that they can attempt to secure a rapid test through a private provider, such as a pharmacy. A map of all public test sites is featured on our website. Please do not utilize emergency departments for the sole purpose of getting tested for COVID-19.
We understand that this will cause difficulty given the high demand for rapid tests. IDOH continues to pursue every avenue to obtain rapid antigen tests and will inform you when we have an update on availability. Please see the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s most up-to-date quarantine or isolation guidelines.
Symptomatic individuals should continue to stay home while waiting for test results, and positive individuals with symptoms should stay home for at least 5 full days and until they are fever-free for 24 hours (without the use of fever-reducing medication) and symptoms are improving.
The best protection against infection is to be up-to-date on vaccinations, including booster doses. Let us know if you would like to request a community PCR testing and vaccination event.
