For some other testing sites in the region like Sante Integrative Pharmacy in Princeton, you must take a survey and register for an appointment online at doineedacovid19test.com. It appears that wait times to schedule a test have improved since Thanksgiving. When we looked up Sante’s wait times on Monday, Dec. 7, appointments were available the same day on Dec. 7, and on Dec. 10.
The Mercer County home testing program has a rapid turnaournd time. Once we were able to order the at-home saliva kit, it arrived via UPS the following day.
