Why Doesn\'t the U.S. Have at-Home Tests for the Flu?...

[Fred Bloggs]

In Europe, it’s now possible to buy an at-home test that looks for not only COVID, but also flu and RSV, for about $7. The company that makes the test, Shenzhen Microprofit Biotech Co. Ltd., does not plan to seek authorization from the FDA in the short term, NBC News reported.

In Australia, combined at-home self tests for flu and COVID have been available since September last year.

Are these other places plagued by medical liability lawsuits like the U.S.?

FDA can certify home tests under emergency procedure.
Call FDA directly.
