  These saliva tests are more comfortable than nasal swabs and just as accurate, but they may not be a good option for those with low saliva production, such as very young children or people who have suffered a stroke. Results are emailed to you 24-48 hours after taking the test.

  If you have questions about saliva testing, please email mn@vaulthealth.com or call 800-800-5698.
