I work for a school district in New Jersey.. They are requiring weekly testing in order for approximately 25 of us to keep our jobs. They are only providing the nasal swab PRC test, we are requesting the spit test so as to not have that nasal swab.
My department head is going to Trenton next week to present our case (she is based, unvaxxed and told me she will be fired with us!) . I told her i would prepare a folder she could use to aide her in becoming as knowledgeable as possible about this subject. Problem is I have very little printed info on the swabs available for use. Most are videos. I have been searching since yesterday and need your help. If anyone on earth can dig this up for me it's this community!
We are not going to take the swab but will compromise and take the spit test to continue to work...if she is unsuccessful I'll be looking for a new job on Oct 18th...considering I just started this on on 9/1 I'm choosing to fight for it... Please help!
Blessings for your success because I'm at a standstill. Thank you all...
Depending on cost that is definitely an option...The district has contracted with the hospital system which would be free...all we are asking for are options to the swab since other types of test now exist and another nearby district is utilizing the spit test.... I'm willing to pay but some are financially unable to bear a weekly cost for going elsewhere...problem is I called and there are no spit testing options here...but I will persevere!
Blessings fren..
My district contracted with some dedicated testing site, but my insurance covers testing if it's for health reasons.
I mark off the option that I work in a place I can't social distance and stuff and my plan covers.
Definitely call and ask
Good info fren... thank you!
