How do I know if the COVID-19 PCR test is accurate and reliable?

PfizerHealth only uses COVID-19 tests that have received Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). These approved tests minimize the chance of inaccurate, false positive, or false negative results. The FDA has found that tests that meet certain standards are of superior quality and have high sensitivity and specificity* (measurements of accuracy). 

PfizerHealth will not use tests that have been shown to have low sensitivity and specificity. For additional information, please reach out to the lab directly.

*Actual sensitivity and specificity may vary between test manufacturers. A sample that is not properly collected may also result in an inaccurate result.
