CVS Health Corp. will offer rapid strep throat and influenza tests at its roughly 1,100 MinuteClinics by mid-November, the company said Friday.
The drugstore chain piloted this approach at its HealthHUB stores in Houston last year, spokesman T.J. Crawford said in an email Friday. CVS will expand the offerings to clinics across the country at a time when testing has become a linchpin of American life.
