The same reader says he tried a nearby MedRite a little earlier that afternoon and was told the same thing.
MedRite allows patients to pre-register online, which saves time at check-in, but testing is still first-come, first-served. The clinic does provide a helpful estimate online for the current wait time at each location. This is a pretty ideal testing experience—if you can snag a convenient slot. If no appointments are showing up, try checking back after midnight when new appointment times tend to pop up.
Find the locations and hours here, as well as a note on whether each place also offers rapid antigen tests. Children older than 2 can be tested at any of these locations and the list also indicates options for younger infants.
None of these locations takes appointments, but some clinics pre-register visitors to streamline the check-in process. Some users say they find the mobile testing vans to be the easiest option.

Antibody tests check the blood for signs that you have had the virus in the past.
They require getting a blood sample through a finger stick or drawing blood from a vein in your arm. An antibody test may not be accurate for someone with an active or recent infection or for other reasons. An antibody test result should not be used to make any decisions about whether someone can work or attend school. Antibody tests for COVID cannot be used to detect whether someone is currently sick or infected, or whether someone is immune to the virus.
Antibody tests are not recommended after vaccination. It is not known whether currently authorized antibody tests can determine the level of protection provided by a COVID vaccination. If you test positive for COVID through a diagnostic test, immediately separate yourself from others and contact your health care provider. If you cannot safely separate at home, you and those you may have exposed to the virus can qualify for a free hotel room.
