Webinar: Keeping Students and Communities Safe with School-based Flu and COVID-19 Testing
As students return to classrooms, schools face the combined challenges of the surging variants, students too young to receive a vaccine, and the flu season. BD is partnering with NAESP to host a webinar discussing the benefits of asymptomatic screening of COVID-19 using rapid antigen serial testing. This testing can help limit outbreaks and keep schools open. The webinar will share best practices on how to set up an effective and efficient process for testing in schools, as well as options for testing that quickly and efficiently delivers results on COVID-19 and Flu A+B.
