Remember to get your free COVID home tests

before RFK Jr. cancels the program. (Hyperbole, I hope.)

https://covidtests.gov/

Need help placing an order for your at-⁠home tests?
Call 1-800-232-0233 (TTY 1-888-720-7489).

Each household is currently entitled to four free at-home (Rapid Antigen) COVID tests, to be delivered free by USPS.

Also, as you probably already know, your old COVID test kits with expired dates are quite possibly still valid. Check here to see:

Those suckers have gotten expensive in the grocery store & pharmacies around here, so I’m glad to have another small stash on the way.

Yeah, got my latest shot in early October. I’m amazed at how many people don’t bother with getting their COVID vaxes any more. I keep mine updated every six months or less, because a) I’m old enough that it matters and b) I want to decrease my odds of going to the hospital or getting Long COVID.
