Rapid Testing -- by appointment

We administer three types of rapid tests at The Pharmacy at Wellington:

• COVID-19 test - curbside - call us from your car - 501-747-4291
• Influenza assessment and test - curbside - call us from your car - 501-747-4291
• Strep throat assessment and test - in a room at The Pharmacy - please call us when you arrive at the parking lot so we can let you know where to go

Additional information:

For each of the tests we administer, you will receive verbal results within an hour (if positive) and emailed results within two hours. None of these tests require a prescription.

Some insurances, such as Medicare, cover at-home COVID-19 tests.  Please feel free to ask us to check your insurance for you.

Click on the booking link above for our current testing times.  You can reschedule online up to 2 hours before your appointment time by signing back into the Booking page.  You may also call us (501-708-4320) to reschedule or to book.

If a pharmacist determines that you should not be tested at the time of your appointment, or you cancel your appointment online, you will receive a refund minus a $5 administration fee. "No Shows" will not receive a refund.   if you have canceled your test appointment and would like a refund, please call or email us as the system does not allow an automatic refund so we must process it manually.
