COVID-19 AT-HOME TESTS

Options for COVID-19 at-home tests

 

We no longer have COVID-19 Home Tests available at our department. Due to COVID-19 funding cuts we will not have tests available for the foreseeable future.

  • Purchase an at-home test at most local retailers or pharmacies (around $20.00 on average per box (of 2 tests)) (Wal-Mart, CVS, etc.) and online.
  • Contact a healthcare provider to see if they offer testing.

 

Wondering if your at-home COVID-19 tests are still good to use?

The FDA has recently extended the expiration dates for many at-home COVID-19 tests.

  • Before discarding tests you have at-home check the updated expiration dates to ensure you're staying prepared and safe.
  • For more information and to see if your tests are still valid, visit: FDA At-Home OTC COVID-19 Tests

COVID-19 VACCINES

The FDA has approved an updated COVID-19 vaccine for 2025-2026, with restrictions.

 

Which updated COVID-19 vaccines are available?

 

Moderna

On August 27, 2025, the Food and Drug Administration revoked the emergency use authorization (EUA) of Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine.

SPIKEVAX

SPIKEVAX is approved for use in individuals who are:

- 65 years of age and older, or

- 6 months through 64 years of age with at least one underlying condition that puts them at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19.

COMIRNATY

COMIRNATY is approved for use in individuals who are:

- 65 years of age and older, or

- 5 years through 64 years of age with at least one underlying condition that puts them at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19.

 

What are the approved underlying conditions?

You can review the approved underlying conditions on this CDC webpage titled Underlying Conditions and the Higher Risk for Severe COVID-19.

Note: A new statewide standing medical order now allows most Wisconsinites to get the vaccine at pharmacies without a prescription.

 

Where can you get vaccinated? 

Check with your health insurance provider to find a doctor, clinic, or pharmacy where vaccines will be available to you, and bring your insurance information to your vaccination appointment. 

The COVID-19 vaccine is currently not available through VFC or VFA this year, which means NSHD (like all local health departments in Wisconsin) will not be carrying the COVID-19 vaccine in our clinics at this time.

Find COVID-19 vaccine provider near you.
