MidwestIA Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 Has anyone had their 2 yr old get their pre cruise testing done at Walgreens or CVS? If not, and you got a 2 yr old tested, where did you go? I am looking at the pharmacy websites (and local pharmacy websites) and their PCR tests are all “rated” for 3+. The at-home tests are only accepted for vaccinated, so I’m kind of worried about how I’m to get my 2 yr old the accepted test before embarkation day. (With my first child, I would never have considered getting a PCR test done because he just wouldn’t have been able to stand it at 2. My second kid, however, acts like shoving things into her nasal cavity a sport so she’d take a test like a champ to go on vacation).

Carotthat Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 Quest via Walgreens does testing for 2y old, as I read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t found anything that says they’ll do PCR or NAAT testing for kids under 3. Just at-home tests which isn’t allowed for unvaccinated guests.

Unfortunately I’m in Iowa so this chain doesn’t exist near me. Guess I’ll have to call RC and see what they recommend in options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use them locally in Florida and they have both PCR and antigen testing options at my site. https://patient.nomihealth.com/signup/26?referrer=nomi_sp_ia They don't have any information on the age limits for testing, but you can try the phone number on their site or the live chat or contact forms to ask for the age requirements if either of those locations are convenient for you.

Carotthat Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 We did the PCR for our 2y old son yesterday at noon in a Quest Dependance, no questions about insurance etc., - but I had appointed him with no social distancing possible... Results came per Email about 28h later. Perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
