The FDA halted the emergency use authorization of Evusheld because it does not appear to protect against Covid-19 from viral variants in U.S.

CNN had previously reported that many patients who used the medication weren't aware the medication was no longer as effective as it once was, and continued to rely on it for protection against COVID-19.
