COVID 19 Vault Salvia Testing at Home

COVID-19 Vault Saliva Testing at Home
Minnesota and Vault Medical Services have teamed up to offer at-home COVID-19 saliva testing for everyone who lives in Minnesota, with or without symptoms, at no cost.
The Vault saliva test kits are polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests, molecular tests that detect the virus's genetic material. PCR tests are the most accurate tests for detecting the virus that causes COVID-19. It checks whether you have COVID-19 right now and can spread it to others. It is not an antibody test that looks for whether you have had COVID-19 in the past. A positive PCR test result is considered a confirmed case of COVID-19.
There is no limit to the number of at-home saliva test kits you can order over time. Once your test arrives, please take the test and send it in as soon as possible.
● You cannot order a second Vault test until you receive the results from an outstanding test.
● If you are ordering tests for multiple family members, each person must register separately.
● If a test kit doesn’t arrive, call Vault's customer service line at 800-800-5698.
