A PCR test is performed in a laboratory and is indicative of an individual’s COVID status at the time their sample is taken. It does not show previous infection. PCR tests are internationally recognised as the gold standard for COVID-19 testing by World Health Organisation (WHO) and the backbone of every governments national testing program.
Your sample will be collected by one of our trained healthcare professionals using a nasopharyngeal (nose and throat) swab, the full appointment process should take no more than 10 minutes.
Rapid Antigen testing involves a swab taken from the back of your nose. A testing kit is then used in the pharmacy to assess for the presence of COVID-19 antigens.
The test is being offered primarily for the purposes of essential travel. Your result is available within 15 minutes. Our Rapid Antigen test has a sensitivity of 96.52% and a specificity of 99.68%.
An EU approved Digital Covid Certificate is provided which is mutually recognised by all member states across the EU and on common list of EU COVID-19 rapid antigen tests.
The EU Digital Covid Certificate that you we provide is proof that you have received a negative Covid-19 test. Your free Digital Covid Certificate will help you travel safely and easily within the EU.
Rapid antigen tests can reduce further transmission of COVID-19 through early detection.
Antigen tests are intended for use as an aid in the diagnosis of infections with COVID-19. There is a small possibility that the result may give a false negative or false positive. Positive Antigen results are confirmed by a PCR test.
If you test positive, public health may be notified and you will be advised to phone your doctor to arrange a HSE PCR test, return home and self-isolate until the results of the HSE laboratory PCR test are known.
Some countries may now accept Rapid Antigen Test results for travel.
Same day PCR test option based on availability.
