Testing is a critical part of the fight against COVID-19, but some people
who are blind or have low vision face barriers using many of the COVID-19
tests on the market.


On June 23, 2022, the Biden-Harris Administration launched a new initiative
to expand the availability of testing options that are more accessible for
people who are blind or have low vision.
How to get the tests:

Order  online

by calling 1-800-232-0233.

   - Each order now includes 12 rapid-antigen tests that are more
   accessible for people who are blind or have low vision.  These will ship in
   six separate packages, each with two tests. Each package will have a
   separate tracking number.
   - Orders will ship free, while supplies last.
   - Note:  If you placed an order before July 7 and received only two
   tests, you may place another order now to receive 12 additional tests.
   (Your name and shipping information are not retained after your order is
   filled, so there is no way to automatically ship additional tests.)
