PCR test for travel

Hi all, we're travelling to Tenerife in August (hopefully!) and need to book PCR tests for travel as our last covid jab was over 270 days ago. Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced company who do these?

Are you not considering getting a booster instead?

Does Tenerife not accept LFT rather than PCR if you haven't had a booster?

No, I had a mild allergic reaction and was pretty ill after having the first two

Not according to the travel info online, unfortunately

DocHQ are good. Haven't used them for PCR but did for supervised LFT and would definitely recommend

Thank you, was just pcr when I checked a little while ago, didn't realise they'd updated again!

We used QURED. I’d still have the booster. Often different manufacturer and initial problems no real indicator of 3rd reaction. DD was pretty bad with first. Nothing with booster. I’d have the booster. It’s a no brainer.
