FREE COVID-19 TESTING FOR STUDENTS K-12 (CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO)

We have always prioritized the health and safety of our clients and your members, and their families. That’s why we are pleased to share this valuable wellness initiative with you.

To help reduce the spread of COVID-19 and the highly contagious Delta variant, BioReference Laboratories, the State of New York, and Rite Aid have joined together to sponsor the Back to School COVID-19 testing program for New York public school students K-12 in preparation for in-person learning in the 2021-2022 school year.

For students to participate in this free program, parents must:

• Pre-register and schedule a time slot for testing at the BioReference Laboratories website. PCR testing will take place at one of 115 Rite Aid drive-thru locations throughout New York.
• Give consent as a parent or legal guardian and accompany students if their ages are 4-17 at time of testing.

Digital results will be sent to parents to share with the student’s school.

This initiative aligns with our mission to help protect the people and communities we serve. We hope you and your members will take advantage of this free service as needed.

As always, we’ll keep you informed of similar wellness initiatives as we come across them.
