Description
Description:
COVID-19 vaccines have been foundational in reducing the number of infections and severe outcomes associated with SARS-CoV2 infections.
Unfortunately, a portion of individuals with immunocompromising conditions do not respond to these COVID-19 vaccines as well as healthy individuals. As public health measures (e.g., masking, physical distancing) are being removed across the country, patients with a lower immune response to vaccines are at elevated risk of infections and severe COVID-19 outcomes.
Tixagevimab/Cilgavimab is a monoclonal antibody treatment that has been approved to be used to prevent COVID-19 infections in patients who are unable to mount an adequate immune response to COVID-19 vaccinations.
This webinar recording reviews the practical role of this treatment option to prevent COVID-19 in high risk patients.
