I think administering shots could have been supplemental. But you don’t really need the ‘lab’ to do this. When you have The major pharmacies already setup to do this, it would have been a mistake to pivot to this. Testing requires the lab. Which the major pharmacies don’t have on site. Plus the major suppliers already had inroads and logistics set up with many of the major pharmacies.
The CLIA lab has so much more potential in this Covid time. Results are much faster and testing may require multiple visits if there are entry points to certain facilities. In fact if they wanted to, other testing sites that perform testing could probably use Quicklabs to process. Currently many send their specimens out and it takes time to get to their labs and then run the actual tests.
