The Home Test to Treat program was a national telehealth pilot program to evaluate the effectiveness of home testing and treatment for COVID-19 and flu. It was a collaboration among NIH/NIBIB, ASPR, CDC, eMed, VentureWell, and UMass Chan Medical School.
The program was available from August 2023-April 2024 and during that time, 80,000+ people enrolled from across the country, 40,000+ test kits were distributed, and 6,000+ people were treated for COVID-19 or flu through the program.
Those Nerdy Girls was thrilled to collaborate and spread awareness on the Home Test To Treat program during its execution, and we are excited to share some interesting Quick Facts now that the program has ended. Scroll through the slides below for more details.
As we navigate the winter respiratory season, here’s your nerdy reminder that it’s never too late to get your COVID and flu vaccines (find a vaccine near you).
