Flu and COVID Testing

When respiratory symptoms start, quick answers help you feel better faster and protect others. At Tanner Urgent Care, we make flu and COVID testing simple, fast and supportive. Walk in for care, get clear results during your visit and leave with a plan.

Our clinicians evaluate your symptoms, recommend the right testing and guide you on treatment and next steps, so you can move forward with confidence. We’re your neighborhood partner in health — trusted, convenient and ready when you need us.

Understanding symptoms

COVID, flu and RSV share many symptoms, which makes testing the most reliable way to tell them apart. These symptoms may include:

Body aches
Congestion or runny nose
Cough
Fatigue

Fever or chills
Headache
Sore throat

COVID may also cause loss of taste or smell and can range from mild to severe. Flu often comes on suddenly with high fever, pronounced aches and marked fatigue. RSV is more likely to cause wheezing and increased mucus, especially in young children and older adults.

Because these illnesses overlap, consider flu and COVID testing at Tanner Urgent Care if you have new symptoms, were recently exposed or need clearance for work, school or travel. Testing is especially important if you’re at higher risk for complications or your symptoms are getting worse. We’re here to help you sort out flu versus COVID quickly, so you can protect the people around you.

Why choose Tanner Urgent Care for testing?

Walk in for care or use On My Way by Tanner MyChart to check wait times and schedule an appointment. Our team offers both rapid antigen and laboratory-based PCR testing for flu and COVID:

Rapid antigen tests. Results during your visit for quick decision-making when symptoms start.
PCR tests (if covered by insurance). Higher sensitivity, greater accuracy and the ability to detect more viral and bacterial strains — even before symptoms begin. Results are provided in minutes.

Your clinician will recommend the appropriate testing based on your symptoms, exposure and timing. Along with testing, you’ll receive clear guidance on isolation, symptom relief and whether you may benefit from antiviral treatment for flu or COVID. Tanner Urgent Care is a trusted leader in our region, delivering friendly, expert care that puts your needs first.

What to expect during your visit

During your visit, a clinician will review your medical history and symptoms, perform a focused exam and collect a nasal or nasopharyngeal swab for flu and/or COVID testing. If RSV testing is appropriate — particularly for those with significant breathing symptoms — we’ll discuss options.

You’ll receive instructions on isolation and caring for your symptoms, and we’ll provide results to you within minutes. If you test positive for flu or COVID, we’ll review treatment options, guidance on returning to work or school and any needed follow-up. Count on Tanner Urgent Care for flu and COVID testing at Tanner Urgent Care that’s fast, accurate, and compassionate.
