Flu services at PACS Alexandria
Rapid flu testing
A quick nasal swab tells you whether you have influenza A or B, usually during the same visit. We can test for flu and COVID-19 at the same time, and add RSV or strep testing if your symptoms point that way. Learn how rapid flu tests work and when to get one.
Flu diagnosis and treatment
Our providers examine you, confirm the diagnosis and recommend a treatment plan. That may include an antiviral prescription, fever and symptom relief, a nebulizer treatment for wheezing, IV fluids for dehydration, or a chest X-ray if pneumonia is a concern. Read about Tamiflu and the 48-hour window.
Walk-in flu shots
Get your yearly flu vaccine without an appointment. The CDC recommends a flu shot for almost everyone 6 months and older, ideally by the end of October. See our 2026 to 2027 flu shot guide and what a flu shot costs in Virginia.

Need proof for your employer or your child’s school? We can provide a doctor’s note at your visit, along with guidance on how long to stay home with the flu.

When to go to the ER instead
Call 911 or go to the nearest ER for trouble breathing, chest pain or pressure, confusion, seizures, bluish lips, or symptoms that improve and then return worse. See all flu warning signs.
