COVID-19 is the disease caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2 — a type of severe respiratory virus. Common symptoms include fever, congestion, cough, sore throat, headaches and more. People over age 65 and those with compromised immune systems are at higher risk for developing severe symptoms.

MU Health Care provides testing, vaccination and treatment as available to eligible individuals. Schedule a same-day appointment at Quick Care Clinics or find a primary care provider.

Testing for COVID-19

Your health care provider can perform a PCR test during an appointment, or you can test at home. You may want to test for COVID-19 if:

• You are at high risk for serious illness.
• You’ll be spending time with someone who is at high risk.
• You may qualify for treatment like antiviral medication.
• You need to know how long to stay away from work or school.

COVID-19 Vaccines

The COVID-19 vaccine is updated seasonally to match the most prevalent circulating strains. MU Health Care clinics and pharmacies offer COVID-19 vaccination to eligible individuals.
