COVID-19 vaccine for adolescents age 12 to 17 years old

Adolescents age 12 to 17 are now able to get the COVID-19 Pfizer vaccine. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has authorized the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for this age group under an emergency use authorization (EUA).

If you are between the ages of 12 and 17, you must go to an Avance Care clinic offering the Pfizer vaccine as it is the only COVID-19 vaccine approved for this age group.

To schedule a COVID-19 vaccine for your children, you can book an appointment through our online scheduling tool or by calling one of our convenient locations.

COVID-19 Testing

 If you have symptoms of COVID-19 or have been exposed to people who have symptoms or have tested positive, you may want to be tested.

Avance Care is offering COVID-19 testing at our locations throughout the Triangle and the Charlotte region.  Talk with your healthcare provider to review your symptoms and place an order for the COVID-19 test.

If you experience the following symptoms, call 911 so you can be transported to the nearest emergency department for evaluation:

  • Extreme difficulty breathing (for example, cannot speak in a full sentence or walk across the room without having to stop to catch your breath)
  • Blue lips, face, or skin
  • Severe chest pain
  • Confusion, new-onset slurred speech, or seizure activity

Types of testing available

Molecular lab test (PCR/NAAT)  

The PCR test is the most accurate and reliable test available for COVID-19. The sample collection is done using a swab to collect respiratory material found in your nose. The PCR test can be used for travel, and results are received within 1-2 days.

Rapid antigen testing 

The COVID-19 rapid testing can be used for individuals who were recently infected or experiencing symptoms – including fever, cough, difficulty breathing. The rapid antigen test can provide results within the same day. This test is not accurate if you are not experiencing symptoms.

Antibody testing  

Avance Care offers the COVID-19 antibody test to determine if you have been infected with COVID-19. Our tests, unlike many in the market, are high-quality and have gone through rigorous testing with the FDA. This test provides results within 24-72 hours.
