The administration of the influenza virus vaccine, also known as the flu shot, is a simple procedure to protect against the flu. A healthcare provider injects a small dose of the vaccine into your arm. This stimulates your immune system to produce antibodies, which will help your body fight off the flu if exposed.

This is a test to detect COVID-19, the virus causing severe respiratory illness. It uses a method called immunoassay, which identifies the virus by its unique proteins. The test is directly observed for accuracy. It helps determine if you're currently infected.
