Confidence intervals for logistic regression

AFAIK, no confidence interval is given by that call: it does not even 
calculate standard errors for the coefs (the summary method does that).
I could guess what you meant, but the answer depends on the guess ....
You can use confint() (whose glm method is in package MASS, which must be
attached) to give you profile-likelihood confidence intervals.  There
would be no point in trying to base confidence intervals on score tests,
as you would have to re-fit the model at all possible alternative values
and so the profile likelihood would be available.
