Supplies

DHS is experiencing a shortage of BinaxNOW antigen rapid test kits caused by a nationwide shortage and steep increase in demand for testing across the U.S. Because of this, DHS may be unable to accommodate requests for BinaxNOW antigen tests at this time. DHS is closely monitoring the situation and will provide more information as it becomes available.

PCR test supplies continue to be available for ordering.

If applicable, provide approximate amount of individual antigen tests in stock at your location.
