Sarah Bush Lincoln now offering monoclonal antibody infusion to all eligible patients with COVID-19
The treatment was issued for emergency use authorization by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in November of 2020 for people with mild to moderate symptoms who are at high-risk of developing more severe symptoms from COVID-19.
The treatment will now be made available to all eligible patients.
Factors of being high-risk include those 65 years old or older, obesity, pregnancy, and hypertension, however, there are several other factors, that could also qualify a person for this treatment.
According to he American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, obstetric care clinicians should consider giving pregnant women the monoclonal antibody treatment, since COVID-19 worsens pregnancy complication risk and chance of hospitalization.
“If you’re on a medication, you’re probably high-risk. The monoclonal antibodies are underutilized, and the people who we have given it to feel much better afterward,” Diane Dow, RN, Patient Care Specialist, stated.
Exposure to someone with COVID-19 can also qualify a person to receive the monoclonal antibodies; however, it’s only recommended if they are unvaccinated...
What???? High risk and sick is high risk and sick!!!
