While getting swabbed by a trained healthcare professional is always the best option, self administered swabbing has been proven by many studies to be very effective.
Self-administered swabbing allows companies and test sites to administer a higher volume of tests without the need for increasing staffing. This is very useful for busy test sites as well as businesses trying to find a solution for on-site testing. Many labs have an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for self-administered nasal swabs and have submitted documentation to the FDA to show equal efficacy.
