COVID-19 Vaccines and the Bivalent Booster

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently authorized Omicron-specific boosters. The boosters, called "bivalent," are important to make sure you are protected against both the COVID-19 virus and the Omicron variant. The previous vaccine — or natural immunity from infection — provides only partial protection.

Scheduling for a Bivalent Booster at UPMC Urgent Care

You can schedule an appointment online at some UPMC Urgent Care locations in southwestern Pennsylvania for a COVID-19 vaccine or the bivalent booster.

Please note that UPMC Urgent Care locations in Erie, central Pennsylvania, and Maryland do not offer online scheduling and may not offer the bivalent booster. When scheduling for a vaccine or booster, please contact the office and confirm availability.

COVID-19 Testing at UPMC Urgent Care

UPMC Urgent Care will honor any prescription for symptomatic patients (individuals with COVID-19 symptoms), asymptomatic patients, and pre-procedural prescriptions from a UPMC provider.

If you already have an order (medical referral) for a COVID-19 test, and scheduled an appointment online, UPMC Urgent Care staff can administer a COVID-19 test inside the office.

COVID-19 test without a written referral or written order

If you do not have a referral or written order for a COVID-19 test, one of our staff can order the test for you. Medical evaluations are provided for ‘walk-in’ patients during regular business hours, first come-first served.

Contact UPMC Urgent Care staff for more information about COVID-19 tests.
