The QuickVue At-Home COVID-19 Test is authorized for prescription home use with self-collected anterior nasal (nares) swabs from individuals ages 14 and older or individuals ages 8 and older with swabs collected by an adult. The test is authorized for individuals suspected of COVID-19 by their healthcare provider within the first six days of symptom onset.
Yet another decision to take a good rapid test and decrease accessibility and increase cost by requiring a (useless) physicians prescription.
NO PERSON SHOULD NEED A MEDICAL PRESCRIPTION FOR A #COVID19 TEST
Testing during a SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is a public health good.

Today, FDA issued an EUA for the Quidel QuickVue At-Home #COVID19 Test, another antigen test where certain individuals can rapidly collect and test their sample at home, without needing to send a sample to a laboratory for analysis. https://fda.gov/news-events/press-announcemen...id-19-test

The only ones who find prescription to be useful are... the E-med consult companies that slap a random MD signature on every test - in return for what one might imagine is a large payment from insurance companies. I wish FDA would break down barriers, not create and enforce them
