[ARCHIVED] Fall Regional COVID-19 Mobile Testing Program

Fall Regional Mobile Testing Program

The County of Bergen, in partnership with Bergen New Bridge Medical Center, has resumed COVID-19 mobile testing. The program, which builds upon its success over the summer, provides regional testing and offers flu vaccinations in addition to COVID-19 saliva tests. Flu vaccinations are critical this year to prevent a combined outbreak of flu and COVID-19, which can further burden healthcare systems and increase complications for those who become ill.

Residents will be able to pre-register for their test at a Regional Community Mobile Testing site through an online portal to receive priority processing. To pre-register please visit https://www.research.net/r/BNBMCCovidMobile. Residents who choose to pre-register for testing must bring their mobile device for check-in.

All fall mobile testing sites will also offer a priority testing hour from 1:30 to 2:30pm for all Bergen County public school teachers, faculty, and staff from 1:30 to 2:30pm.

Mobile testing is available to all county residents free of charge, regardless of health insurance status. Residents can get tested at any regional community testing location and all community mobile testing sites will offer the COVID-19 saliva test and flu vaccination. The COVID-19 saliva test is available to all county residents regardless of symptoms, as well as first responders, healthcare workers, public school teachers, and municipal or county employees who work in Bergen County with proof of employment.

For the COVID-19 saliva test, please do not eat, drink, smoke, or chew gum 30 minutes prior to arrival. Identification is necessary so please bring your driver’s license/ID card, school identification card, social security card, passport, or birth certificate. Proof of Bergen County residency or that you work in Bergen County is required so please bring your driver’s license, utility bill, pay stub, or work ID.  If you have an insurance card, also bring that with you.

The County of Bergen and Bergen New Bridge Medical Center remind all residents that mobile testing is only one way to get tested. COVID-19 saliva screening and antibody testing are also available by appointment at Bergen New Bridge Medical Center.
