The rapid antibody test will be available for patients who wish to know if they have been previously infected with COVID-19. The rapid antibody test does not show if a patient has a current infection, because it can take 1-3 weeks after infection to make antibodies. Results of the test will be available the same day the test is done, usually takes about 15 minutes to get the results. The test uses a finger stick to collect a small blood sample, which is administered by a trained Hy-Vee Pharmacy team member.
