I acknowledge that the fee is a monetary payment for one test, and payment must be sent by Zelle (info@vinepediatrics.com) or Paypal (info@vinepediatrics.com).

I will not hold the Practice, Dr. Sharifa Glass, or the Practice's staff liable for adverse reactions, progression of illness, or future illness.
I understand that the test result should not be used in place of CDC recommendations to social distance, wear a mask, and wash hands to decrease transmission of COVID-19 and other infections.
