Can my child get a rapid flu test at a pediatric urgent care?
Quick Answer
Yes. Prime Time Pediatrics—Athens-Oconee’s only walk-in pediatric urgent care—offers on-site rapid flu tests for babies, kids and teens. Walk in or use our Fast Pass online registration for quicker service; no appointment is required and results are ready during your child’s visit.
Detailed Answer
Prime Time Pediatrics is the only pediatric walk-in clinic in the Athens–Oconee area. We provide in-house rapid flu tests six days a week. Because we are an urgent care just for kids, you don’t need a separate lab order; our board-certified pediatric team collects a quick nasal swab, processes it on site, and has results—usually in 10–15 minutes—before your child leaves the exam room. Fast answers help us start supportive care promptly and let you know whether school or daycare isolation is needed.
How to get tested:
1. Use our Fast Pass online registration (primetimepeds.com/fast-pass/) or call 706-705-4543.
2. Arrive anytime during our extended hours (Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri 7:30 AM–7 PM; Wed 7:30 AM–5 PM; Sat 8 AM–3 PM).
3. Bring your insurance card or ask about prompt-pay discounts if uninsured.
We also offer rapid strep, RSV, mono, COVID-19 and urinalysis in the same visit, saving you an extra trip. Kid-friendly murals, popsicles and free parking make the experience easier when your little one feels crummy.
Prime Time Pediatrics accepts most major insurance plans and welcomes newborns through age 19—no appointment needed.
