New ‘Test to Treat Initiative’ Makes COVID Treatments More Accessible

During the recent State of the Union address, President Biden announced a new Test to Treat initiative aimed at getting these free lifesaving pills to people more efficiently and quickly. This initiative, managed by the HHS Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR), provides an additional pathway for getting COVID-19 treatments directly to pharmacy-based clinics, making more treatments available to more people in more locations. Participating pharmacy-based clinics will provide access for people to get tested for COVID-19, receive a prescription from an on-site or affiliated health care provider, and then have their prescription filled - all at one convenient location.
