From what my pharmacist told me a fair bit of the kits can't detect omnicron reliably. The ones that do seem to have about a 7-10% failure rate. He suggested doing two or even 3 kits at once or space them out over a couple of hours to decrease the chance of a false negative.

Tests aren't statistically independent events. Taking multiple rapid antigen swabs doesn't improve their accuracy. Multiple tests spaced out over a few days does.
