AstraZeneca’s prevention treatment, Evusheld, may be a great option for high-risk patients that do not qualify for a COVID-19. Based on recent studies, the results are very promising.
Understanding Evusheld
Defined as monoclonal antibody therapy, this treatment infuses your body with antibodies designed to resist infection from strains of COVID-19.
Evusheld consists of two shots injected, one right after the other. It’s designed to be effective for up to 6 months and can be re-administered once that time has passed.
The results have been very promising. Based on their studies, Evusheld can reduce the risk of infection by 77% in high-risk patients, which is significant.
Who should get Evusheld treatment
It’s important to note that Evusheld is not a replacement for a vaccine. This was meant for individuals that are considered “high risk,” which includes:
- People with compromised immune systems
- Individuals allergic to the vaccine
- Patients taking immuno-suppressants
Best ways to get an Evusheld treatment
There are a couple of options when trying to receive this treatment. Hawaii residents can visit a clinic or urgent care facility to get their shots.
Another option is to receive in-home Evusheld treatment where a medical professional will come to you and administer the treatment. Many people in Hawaii opt for this option as it provides greater peace of mind.
With promising results, Evusheld is a great option for high-risk patients seeking greater protection against COVID.
