24/7 Virtual Visits and COVID-19
24/7 Virtual Visits providers are not able to order testing or provide vaccinations for COVID-19. Virtual providers can help answer questions about COVID-19 and can provide many aspects of care for acute conditions, such as COVID-19 symptoms.
Visit the COVID-19 Resource Center or contact your PCP to find COVID-19 testing and vaccine options.
