Immediate and Emergency Care

Immediate Care/Walk-In Clinics 

Immediate care is medical care you need within 24 to 48 hours, but not right away. Common symptoms for which someone might seek Immediate care include:

  • Diarrhea or vomiting that lasts more than a few hours.
  • Fever (temperature over 100.4 degrees).
  • Minor injuries (like strains, sprains, or minor cuts and burns).
  • Pain or burning feeling when peeing and cloudy or stinky urine.
  • Sore throat or ear pain.
  • Upper respiratory symptoms (like a severe cough).

If you need immediate care or can not see your primary care provider (PCP), you can visit any CVS MinuteClinic or one of the clinics listed in the map below.  For more information, call Customer Care at 202-467-2737.
