Covid cases are rising again, and it will be here quickly. The Covid Treatment Infusion Center has monoclonals to treat our Covid positive patients.
But, I wanted to take a moment to talk about the immunocompromised individuals (cancer, dialysis, receiving biologics, heart failure, liver failure, etc).
After two years in this pandemic, we all know that chronically ill and immunocompromised people are at higher risk of contracting and suffering severe illness from COVID-19. Vaccinations can be our best weapon against the virus that causes COVID, but people on immune suppressants, especially transplant recipients, are less likely to develop antibodies from the vaccine. Recently, a monoclonal antibody combination therapy has been authorized for emergency use in the US. Evusheld is a muscular injection therapy given every six months that helps people with limited immune systems fight the virus. “For those who don’t respond well to vaccines, Evusheld shots put COVID-fighting proteins directly into their bodies.”
If you have a loved one that is immune compromised and you’re worried about getting Covid, they need to get this treatment.
Feel free to reach out to me with questions.
