COVID-19 Survey
We are no longer accepting participants.
Get Back Mass COVID-19 Testing Project
Help the Department of Public Health (Mass DPH) get information on COVID-19 immunity in your neighborhood.
If you agree to participate we will ask you to fill out a short online survey. The approximate time for the survey is 5-10 minutes. A box with a sample kit will be sent to your home. Please provide 2 samples:
- A nose swab, and
- A few drops of blood from your finger on a card.
Return these samples in the postage-paid box that was provided.
Once we receive your samples we will perform two tests: a COVID-19 antibody test, and a COVID-19 viral test. We will send you the results of both tests. We will also send you a $25 Amazon Gift Card, and enter you into a drawing for a $1,000 Amazon Gift Card.
This special testing is not generally available to the public. Your participation will help protect the health of your friends and family, and your entire community, especially schools and workplaces reopen. Your privacy and safety are protected by law.
