BinaxNOW on the Shelf at Walgreens in Keene!

Walgreens on West Street in Keene has over 100 BinaxNOW test kits sitting on their shelves as of today at noon, Thursday, 2/3/2022.

Reminder of our company policy for how to use antigen tests properly: if you have symptoms, wait until day 5 after having symptoms to do the antigen test (twice) for best accuracy - although it’s hard to wait that long and it’s better to get a PCR test as soon as possible.

If you have no symptoms and you want to use the test to see if you've got covid-19 or not, you need to do 2 tests, 24 hours apart, and they both have to be negative.

The best use of antigen tests is after you have had covid-19 - as per the February 2, 2022 post, wait at least five days after the onset of symptoms and do one test per day until you get two negative results.
