Vitalant, a local blood service provider, is offering free antibody testing from July 13th through July 19th if you also donate blood. The testing is through Vitalant's Save Our Summer Blood Drive.
The antibody testing is available at Vitalant’s popup clinic inside the South Plains Mall from noon to 7 p.m., Thursday through Saturday, and from noon to 6 p.m. on Sunday. Antibody testing results usually take 10 to 15 days to come back.
