The Emerging Challenge: The JN.1 Variant

As we end 2023, the JN.1 variant, a new COVID-19 mutation, has come into focus. This variant, closely related to the earlier BA.2.86 strain, is now a significant portion of COVID cases in the U.S. The CDC and WHO are closely monitoring JN.1, noting its potential for increased transmissibility. However, they also reassure that the risk to public health is currently low and that existing vaccines are effective against it.

A Proactive Response: The Federal Test to Treat Program

Responding to the dual challenges of COVID-19 and flu, the federal government has launched the Home Test to Treat program. This initiative is a significant step in making healthcare accessible and responsive to everyone.

Key Features of the Program:

Accessibility: The program offers free at-home testing for COVID-19 and the flu, along with telehealth consultations and treatments.

Eligibility: All adults with a positive test for COVID-19 or flu can access these services. The program also extends to uninsured adults and those enrolled in Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans Affairs, or Indian Health Services.

Convenience: With at-home testing and treatment, healthcare comes to you, making it easier to stay healthy and safe.

As we navigate these times, your proactive approach to health is vital. Vaccinations, wearing masks in crowded spaces, and maintaining hygiene are key. And now, with the Test to Treat program, you have additional support to manage your health effectively.

The Home Test to Treat program will now offer free testing, telehealth and treatment for both COVID-19 and for influenza (flu) A and B. It is the first public health program that includes home testing technology at such a scale for both COVID-19 and flu. The program initially will provide the LUCIRA® by Pfizer COVID-19 & Flu Home Test, the first U.S. Food and Drug Administration-authorized test that can detect both viruses in a single test at home.
