Q:Question:How is a flu test performed?
A:Answer:
Flu tests at our urgent care clinics are performed using a nasal swab. This is one of the most common methods for flu testing. A health care provider will insert a thin, flexible swab into your nostril and gently guide it into the back of your nose. The swab collects a sample of mucus and cells from the nasal passage and the back of the throat. This sample is then tested to see if it contains the flu virus.
Q:Question:How long does a flu test take?
A:Answer:
Our rapid flu tests are designed to provide results relatively quickly, usually within 15 minutes.
Q:Question:How long will I test positive for the flu?
A:Answer:
The amount of time you’ll test positive for the flu depends on several factors, including the type of flu test being used, the timing of the test relative to when you started having symptoms and your individual immune response.
If you're concerned about being contagious or need to know when you can return to work or school, consulting with a health care provider is a good idea. They’ll guide you based on your symptoms, the type of test you've taken and your overall health status.
Remember that if you're feeling unwell or have flu-like symptoms, you should take precautions like staying home, hand-washing or wearing a mask to prevent the spread of illness to others.

The front desk was very efficient and got me in quickly to see a provider. The nurse and provider explained everything very thoroughly, and I left with everything I needed to get better.

Can’t say enough great things about this facility! I didn’t realize my appointment was booked at a different location, and they were able to fit me in within 10 minutes of my original appointment at the other location.

Centra Care was faster than I expected, considering I normally wait past my appointment time to even be moved to the back. The staff was very kind and friendly, from check in to the physician assistant who treated me. Thank you for making it easy for someone on their lunch break to get back to work quickly!
