Oswald's Pharmacy To Offer Coronavirus Antibody Testing

NAPERVILLE, IL — Oswald's Pharmacy in Naperville will offer coronavirus antibody testing starting July 10.

Phlebotomists will be onsite to perform the testing via blood draws. Patients will get the results within 15 minutes, according to a press release from Oswald's Pharmacy.

The pharmacy will offer testing five days a week. A total of 78 tests will be performed and an appointment is required for the testing.

Alex Anderson, manager at the family-owned pharmacy, said in a statement, "We’ve hired two certified phlebotomists, one who currently works part-time as an Inpatient Phlebotomy Technician at Rush University Medical Center, and the other who moved back to the area from Florida where she was a Phlebotomy Technician at Florida Hospital Memorial Medical Center, in Daytona Beach."

Anderson began researching tests in May to find the most accurate, FDA-approved testing. He said, "These antibody tests are a great way to confirm whether or not you’ve been exposed to the virus. We’d like to think that once again, we’re doing all we can to keep our community educated and safe.”

To schedule a test, residents can visit oswaldspharmacy.com or call the pharmacy at 630-355-2500.

Oswald's Pharmacy first opened in downtown Naperville in 1875 and is now located at 88 W. Gartner Rd. In addition to the coronavirus antibody testing, Oswald's offers online shopping and home delivery seven days a week.
